I haven`t heard Mike but I`ll offer my opinion anyway.
I believe this topic was up on the Forum in the past somewhere? Anyhow, I wish our government would get their heads together and maybe persue dealings with the US government. It would make more economic sense as well as logistical sense in todays battlefield to operate US designed and built equipment rather than to purchase some oddball Euro stuff like we usually do. I know many guys will jump on me for not suggesting to build our own but past mistakes should prove that neither Bombardier or Western Star was very good at what they did for the CF. The Iltis was Germany`s cast off and the replacement for the 5/4 that Western Star built was not so great either. Wasn`t it based on some European design as well? At any rate, I`m sure it would be better to purchase the next trucks on the coattails of an American contract. I felt the same way regarding us buying the HMMWV, as i think thats what we should have got as well.
