Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

You'll see them in WI fairly often, due to the Oshkosh plant.

We see the M-ATV's now and again too. Or on flatbed trucks being delivered. Those make me green with envy. It is the quintessential zombiepocolypse vehicle.

I thought that was the amphibious Landmaster from the movie Damnation Alley . . . http://www.snowcrest.net/fox/landmaster/

Mounted on the Land Master are six cannons operated by remote control, and a pair of armor-piercing bazookas. The vehicle is eqiupped with closed-circuit television, a radar scanner, two bunk beds, shower and bathroom.

That's pretty tough when your launch platform can pierce armor.

Nothing to see here people.  Move along, move along.
