YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTake one look at the Army’s new whip called the Ground Mobility Vehicle and your first thought is probably "no way am I getting in that thing." Recently the entire US Military has been adding unarmored fast lightweight off road vehicles like the GMV and the Infantry Squad Vehicle.

Listen, if my squad leader gave me a briefing saying “Alright everyone we’re moving out to the enemy compound in our new unarmored buggy” They’d have to make me go kicking and screaming.
