MRAPs and ISIS/DAESH

A few weeks ago, the Duffel Blog - a sort of military version of the famed humor site The Onion - published this article in which a member of ISIS/DAESH thanks an MRAP manufacturer for saving his life in combat. A couple of days ago, the Long War Journal reported that the Nusrah Front used a United Nations MRAP as a vehicle-borne IED. Having worked on the MRAP program, the Duffel Blog article stung. The article about the UN MRAPs is just demoralizing. Ouch.
