A few problems I see with your plan there PEWPEW. How are you gonna Uparmor a jeep? Do you know how much that stuff weighs? Little cheap jeeps are not going to be able to carry that kind of weight. My next piont is that are you going ask that Marine or Soldier to drive in an open, thinly armored jeep through the streets of Iraq and Afganistan? If you're not willing to do it yourself, then you can't ask those guys to do it either.
You must have not read the whole post then. I don't believe in uparmoring a what is supposed to be a highly mobile vehicle. If you want armor use an APC not an armor-laden sluggish bullet magnet that the HMMV has become.
Those vehicles were never designed to be an ARMORED VEHICLE. They were designed to move troops quick and allow them to maintain high mobility.
Oh and to your next point.... Yes I'd ask them to do so. And I'd do it myself... If the mission called for use of a highly mobile vehicle. If I could use an APC and successfully accomplish the mission then I'd use that.
