No problem. I was at Fort Sill in Oklahoma when the first models were introduced which is the reason I knew a little about its original purpose. As far as the Gulf war is concerned, they did do O.K. after the air filters were replaced. They had an awful time in the beginning because the sand was getting into the fuel system and causing the engines to die. You are correct about the A to B thing. The Army has a tendancy to produce and then test in the field, then make revisions. I honestly don't think that the funding for the project would have been approved for the HummVee if it was only to be a Jeep replacement. Perhaps the Army just threw the towing of Howitzers in the mix to get the funding, when in fact the were just wanting one bad ass jeep replacement. They have been known to do that in the past. One thing I can say about the vehicle is that it is almost impossible to get stuck. I am certain that those hunters are more than satisfied with its performance. I wonder if they are using a gas or deisel engine. In the beginning, the deisel was the only one available but I understand that both gas and deisel are available in the commercial version.
