God I hated the HMMWV. As an officer I was “privileged” to ride in the back seat. Zero leg room and a thin cushion for a seat. Pain on wheels. I would beat you to death on the smoothest roads(Germany). We got the first ones in 1988 to replace the jeeps.
One of my toughest memories of the military was we(a maintenance company) had to bring up all the old jeeps to 10-20 standards, including putting seatbelts and new taillights on just to get them crushed. The amount of money and man hours was staggering just to destroy something. We still have military stationed in Germany for no real reason, but that is another subject.
