Shopping for bargains. In Brown County, the sheriff's department received a massive mine resistant ambush protected military surplus vehicle in April. It only had to pay $3,900 to have the vehicle, valued at about $700,000, shipped from Texas, said Lt. Dan Sandberg, commander of the Brown County Sheriff's Office SWAT team.
And I quote: "There is no fail-safe measure that can prevent all loss of life and limb on this or any other battlefield, especially against a ruthless and resourceful enemy. That is the brutal reality of war. But vehicles like the M-ATV and MRAP provide the best protection available against roadside bombs and other improvised explosive devices. And so the need for these types of vehicles will not soon go away."
