Nothing's better then a Hummer
Nudge, Nudge
A good old fashioned cj-5,cj-6, or cj-7 would be much better than a hummer. The hummer is far too wide to make it on most trails, it certainly is too
wide for going up river beds, wadis, washes, and arroyos. It is also too wide for driving between trees in heavily forested areas.....If you only
want to stay on roads, then you are good to go with a hummer.
A Hummer is built so that if you drive over a landmine, if the Hummer is armoured properly, you won't get killed. Any jeep does that, it gets blown
to smitherines. The Hummer was not built purely to JUST go anywhere. It has other purposes as well.
A Hummer though will go pretty much anywhere, aside from over huge rocks perhaps, and I doubt the military moves convoys over huge rocks. That's
where helicopters come in.
The truth is the Hummer is one of the greatest military vehicles ever created.
So is the Jeep (oh, and the British adopted the Jeep and made their own version out of it to by the way).
The thing is, for modern warfare, the Jeep is a lousy vehicle.
