That is a possibility - like in the movie, 'The Longest Day'
Not terribly practical when it rains - your cigar will get wet and there is nowhere to stash your lap-top but definitely a thought.

I hope people are aware that troops do not drive round in these cars. They are for managers and civilians and the police training staff. Why would a technical manager who can earn a fortune in the commercial world bother to work for the UN if he was told that he could not have a/c, a decent apartment and eat wherever he chooses? He just would not do it.

And why would experienced law enforcement experts work in the dust and the heat when they really do not need to, only to be told they had to give up everything they had worked for all these years - i.e. a relatively comfortable life.

These are not soldiers we are talking about. They are middle aged, professional blokes of experience.

And how much do military jeeps cost these days?
Do they even use them any more - would the equivalent be a HumV these days?

I think the whole vehicle thing is a red herring diverting attention away from the real problems of the UN.

So what about a thread concerning the UN moving into the Cyber Park near Las Americas? And getting 1100US$ per month housing allowance and, would you believe, danger money???

Watch the price of apartments in Boca Chica go through the roof over the next six months. Happy times for the girls of Calle Duarte, indeed!
