Fast forward to 2001 conflicts and as ya'll know gunners made up hillbilly armor to protect themselves from gun fire because just like WWII they were exposed.
So my question is, Where is the damn coupla for the gunner? You just as well be in a toyota 4x4 as a gunner because you get no more protection in this damn thing than a Toyota!.

You can't fire from inside in an Abrams? In the Stryker you can fire from the inside using a little tv and a joystick.
