Then you haven't been to Afghanistan! Their roads are rivers.

My initial reaction to this video was hellz to tha no! But then, I realized being in the middle of a fast-moving river in a 14k lb armored HWMMV with water almost to the roof (looking under-water through the windshield), hoping the tires grab and you make it across 'cause swimming in body armor isn't gonna work well...yeah probably that dangerous.

Not entirely sure but based off of what I can see inside the vehicle and outside, it’s either a 70 series Land Cruiser pickup or a Land Rover 110 Defender pickup (neither available here in the USA). If they were available here, one would be my forever truck.

They probably look at our videos of us complaining of highway traffic and think, "what a bunch of snow flakes!"

The USA has become soft.
