Several items in this article. The bomber was 12 years old which occurred in Afghanistan.
The Jackal strike vehicle recently deployed and designed to withstand mines does not work as well as planned as two deaths have resulted in two separate blasts.
In the last two weeks there have been two suicides. They have names and once had a real life. One was a father of two. Link
Years ago on PBS there was a series by Gwynn Dyer titled a ''WAR: A Commentary". In this he detailed the history of warfare. One of the most striking similarities between war in it's infancy and modern day warfare was that nothing ever goes according to plan-EVER!
So the Jackal don't work so well and the plans for Irak a fucking debacle from the onset. The same will hold true for escalation soon to happen in Afgannystan. These people will never say "I give" never fucking ever.
Get ready to eat another stale shit sandwich.
In all I've read of military history, seems I can't remember any vehicles that were mine proof. Tanks included.
