I just completed delivery of a Humvee that was shipped back to the US from Iraq. The right side was (as you can see) damaged by machine gun fire. There is heavy armor on both sides of the vehicle - in fact, the doors are so heavy, I had trouble closing them shut. I had to use a ratchet strap to keep them closed. The glass is bullet proof. The glass above around the turret is not. The tires are not. And - see the left photo - the bottom is not. It is total susceptible to any kind of I.E.D - the improvised explosive devices we hear so much about in the news. This lack of armor is why our young men and women are losing their arms, legs and lives. This vehicle is an embarrassment to our country. We should be ashamed to give this to our military. This very expensive piece of machinery is useless.
