its official, it's called a MUTT, USA today says so!

Saw this while in the deer stand this morning and thought I would pass it along. By the way I don't care what anybody calls them.

Curious if this is anybody's on here?

Military Unit Tactical Truck? They did not even get that right! I just love it when news stories pop up with NO research at all.

Wasn't trying to ruffle feathers, just glad to see a positive article even though they got a couple facts wrong and mentioned a "machine gun"

Its one of the coolest vehicles ever made in my book but if MUTT is such a bad word perhaps the section Mutts on Parade should be changed to .... well 151's on Parade???? Just saying....

They even spelled "tactical" wrong. They spelled it tractical. Trying for "practical" maybe? I agree that this is one of the coolest car/truck/jeep/thing-a-ma-bob vehicles ever.
