=> Sidetracking you say? how convinient considering your response is on everything but the issues i raised with regard to validity of your claims. id love to know what <the issue here> is given that i seem to be sidetracking on it, that way i can give appropriate attention to the discourse. and last but not least, some claims are just not funny, like your last statement ... "given that our economy is not able to sustain essential services".... ill stop here lest i say something and regret.

@Areba, once again you come with another classic mis-direction of calling me a troll. Why are you defending the hummers when you obviously know what the costs of operating such are? Even if you got a free hummer today, would you really afford to fuel and maintain it? You don't need a degree to know that a big engine armoured vehicle consumes much more than a smaller engine vehicle. I think the issue here is getting sidetracked again, because you feel my contribution on this thread is not towards KDF. This is not true, but I had to question the images I saw on TV, given that our economy is not able to sustain essential services.

From your posting I can understand that you are pro-war so it would be difficult to have a civil discussion on the matter.

Rgds,

Chief Troll. :-)

@aki, just for the record,

After watching the images on TV for a few weeks now, am sorry the Kenya Military only [ONLY? Really brave of you.]buys armoured hummers and not armoured landrovers. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V_B2NbE7wA&feature=related at 0.12, Land rovers in front, humvees at the back] The Armoured hummers have very big wheels, are super heavy and thus need much much much more fuel thus you can wonder how many fuel trucks keep the war operations going thus any war will be totally costly. Actually, only developed Nations [AKI IN HIS/HER ELEMENT AGAIN... check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humvee#Operators, albania, chad, djibouti, uganda, zimbabwe.. very industrialized. ] can afford a hummer in a war zone. I don't know what happened to the use of diesel powered armoured landrovers that even the British army use in Iraq, Afghan etc. Will the army ever fund local innovation? Highly impossible, unfortunately.

conclusion... youre just a troll. quite similar in writing to <you know who>
