Cherokee Nation gets armored vehicle to use in severe weather



The Cherokee Nation is getting taken for a ride....and in a bad way.  Not only are those vehicles a pain in the ass to get into, but I can't even imagine how they're going to lift a gurney into the back of it.

Additionally they're big heavy vehicles that will cost more to recover than they realize.  Snow covered roads with ditches on the sides?  Yeah I can see these ambulances needing a big rig wrecker truck and the sick person still needing a ride to the hospital.

The should have been given Humvee Ambulances...


Or if the terrain is extremely rugged or particularly impassable during snow storms or the rainy season then maybe even a M-113 ambulance....


But an MRAP to do rescue work?

Not gonna cut it.  I see trouble ahead.
