Pentagon pushes MRAPs as top defense against roadside bombs
In Fallujah area, Marines report MRAPs protecting crews amid regular IED threats, with some injuries but no fatalities. Pentagon approves up to 17,700 more MRAPs, aiming to bolster Anbar deployment and eventually replace Humvees. Congressional support grows into a potential 20 billion program, despite debate over rushed adoption and cost considerations.
