I've seen people walk out of utterly destroyed mrap vehicles, so if this vehicle is as protected, odds are good that especially in afghanistan, where the ieds tend tobe smaller, it will mean lots of work for mechanics and replacing trucks, not a lot more serious injuries.
To the extent we are fighting the war like retards, it is the concept of using huge armored trucks when dismounted patrols are more effective. And rotating units in 4, 7, or 12 months, just as they become effective, and picking corrupt and ineffective local allies and having inconsistent and irrational goals in the first place.
Senators are probably on helicopters or in armored SUVs around Kabul mre than in military tactical vehicles. The average level IV suv will get even more trashed than an up armored hmmwv in ied attacks, but Kabul was safe enough we just took local cars, so not a big deal.
