Re: REALITY CHECK TIME!

MBTs, IFVs, APCs, LAVs,  SP guns, VTRs and etc are  dangerous beasts to
be around, no  argument from me about that.
just a second or so of carelessness or thoughtlessness, on the part of
crew, passengers, or folks in the vicinity  could end in death or
serious injury.

other thoughts i have  are in line with DON's.	if the grunts and crew
are part of the  same squad, i would go with one check. if the crew are
just "taxi drivers" and the troops just "rides", i think that  two
checks might be in order.

if, IF, the crew abandons the vehicle,	for wotever reason, the
squaddies SHOULD be right behind them! this should be an automatic event
unless the squaddies are all KIA in back.

and for sure, the training, experience, morale,  and circumstances would
be  very important factors when a vehicle sustains  a serious hit,
especially one that disables but does not destroy the vehicle or does
not render the crew/passengers all KIA/WIA.
