what I drove in Iraq and Afganistan

Post by slim_chance »

This is the vehicle I was in the most during both deployments. It is called the Husky it is a true life saver. And yes that is a pirate flag on the antenna. I flew it in afganistan on my Husky and I still have the flag.

Impressive vehicle, looks like something out of Mad Max. Specially with your pirate flag there :)

Strange looking, looks like some sort of post-apocalyptic motor scraper.

That thing looks a bit scary.

I was going to ask if the vehicle is toxic in some way :)

OK I admit, I'm not funny. But that thing does looks pretty badass.

What is it normally used for? I guess the concrete-thing on the front is used to push things away?

Edit: never mind, Google found me this: http://olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_mrap_husky.php (the name is shared with a British armored car, too)

Cool.
