Right.	I can tell you've never driven a military
tracked vehicle in convoy--or in field exercises.  Try
again when you've done that.  Our squad's -113 driver
managed to get airborne several times at NTC, and was
driving so fast over rough terrain that he managed to
twist off the tow pintle and drop our MICLIC trailer
in the desert.	Why?  We had to keep up with the damn
tanks.	Why?  To avoid (simulated) death, which
matters somewhat more than the posibility of an
accident.
