My new favorite military charity

Thanks John…I remember driving a Humvee at AM General’s test track and thinking to myself “I’m DEFINATELY going to tip this thing over!”…but didn’t…
Shucks — this reporter ruined if for the rest of us. Doubt LMCo will allowe scribes to demolition derby their JLTV again anytime soon…:-(
