So so sad. So preventable. Three lives ruined.

Excessive speed is the main cause of most rolling stock Military vehicle accidents, and this is why I cringe at folks who
buy these trucks with zero experience and want to make the trip home at 80mph.

Well I don't think the military does much better, when my wife joined the army and was stationed at Ft Hood, she was from PA and had never driven a vehicle in her life, they pointed to a MUTT and said she was to drive it and that was that!

I was told to be careful as the truck can't be replaced as fast as Marines can!

We had one up here at the MWTC where a M1151 went over in a ditch during daylight
and killed the gunner. Tragic and preventable!
