interesting. when i was in iraq last year, all i saw was a regular red sportsman 500, a silver sportsman 500 H.O, big boss 6x6, and a honda rubicon. and of course, a whole bunch of john deere gators and polaris rangers and kawasaki mules. never saw a sweet rig like the MV7 though...

Well its just like when the hummers started getting air cond installed for the first time,no one ever got them but the top brass,funny how that works out,Im shure there is some Col right now that uses it to ride back and forth from the head...

When I did my time all we ever used were FAV's and that was a new thing back then,was fun to a point.
