    Anyone seen these pics of the new(ish) ACMAT? Any more details on it? Nice tactical white there too!



    I knew a simple soldier boy.....
    Who grinned at life in empty joy,
    Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
    And whistled early with the lark.

    In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
    With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
    He put a bullet through his brain.
    And no one spoke of him again.

    You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
    Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
    Sneak home and pray you'll never know
    The hell where youth and laughter go.

    Is that a mine roller on the back of the first one?

        An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others. This power can not be used carelessly or recklessly. This power can do great harm. We have seen more suffering than any man should ever see, and if there is going to be an end to it, it must be an end that justifies the cost. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

              Yes, it looks like the Commando version, but with a modified ring mount. Looks like a decent SR-DA veh.

                        I'd imagine it's on trial, or has been bought, as there was a tender out for a small number of Tactical Support Vehicle's for those lads with the velcro over their eyes.

                          figured so. if it was a trial i'm sure they'd have had other vehicles about too...then again...whose to say they didn't
