It's a jeep. It's not supposed to be an armored vehicle. It's designed to transport people from place to place
quickly, something that would be undermined by extra armor. The idea that a jeep should be some kind of fortress is an idea that has been planted in people's minds by the same fear-mongering media that has inflamed Islamaphobia.

It's all good and well saying that they knew the risks when they were signing up but unfortunately it is not as simple as that. I dont know what its like where you stay but quite a large amount of people here sign up to the army because they have no other options and have a family to support and with such little job opportunities the army is an excellent wage at the end of every month.
Hell I've even considered joining up because I've been so broke.

It's the military. If you don't want to die in some ****hole, then don't join the military. I know that plenty of people do it for money reasons, but the military doesn't exist to subsidize your education. It exists to kill people. If you take the money and then complain about the risks, then it's sort of a case of too-damn-bad.
