@KathleenHawk4 Rough ballpark if hypothetically armoring all ~50,000โ120,000 remaining/legacy ones with basic hard doors at ~$10,000 per vehicle (mid-range):
$500 million to $1.2 billion total.
US military has been modifying humvees by adding wooden doors to look like they are armored. Why? because US doesnโt have the money to cover the 1.2 billion it would cost to add protection to all of the remaining trucks. While Somali Fraud cost MN over 9 billion dollars
Federal Military Parts (https://t.co/CVIMSGMUpk):
New military-style Hard "X" Doors (pair, front or rear): $3,175 (so ~$6,350 for a full set of 4).
These are aluminum, come in colors like black/tan/green, with options for tinted or ballistic glass. Average door weight ~78 https://t.co/JvWP90UIhl
US military (mainly Army) operates ~120,000 Humvees currently (some sources cite up to 230,000 total across services including older ones). Many are already in armored configs (M1151 etc.), used in low-threat roles, or have modular A/B kits. Not all need new doors.

@KathleenHawk4 My sources for the early Iraq/Afghanistan "hillbilly armor" (including plywood/wood on Humvees) are well-documented historical accounts from the 2003โ2005 period.

US Attorney's Office estimates fraud across 14 Minnesota Medicaid/social services programs (since ~2018) could exceed $9 billion, with providers billing ~$18 billion and "half or more" potentially fraudulent. Many defendants are Somali-American, tied to schemes like the Feeding Our Future scandal ($250M+ in fake meal claims).

@rtruskeyjr He does have a right to say what ever he wants but there are consequences. He works a network that works for corporations that advertise with them. Just not a overall smart move whatever your belief is when your the face of a wholesome show.
