That’s right – the The United States Government is giving up on Humvee, long after the rest of ‘Merica gave up on anything related to Hummer. According to Lt. Gen. Edgar Stanton, fewer losses and the introduction of new vehicles cut down on the number of new vehicles needed so they’re only buying 8,000 this year and then non planned for the future.

And so ends the era of another military vehicle. Years ago, Jeep owned the landscape of any country we were saving/invading. In the late 80′s, Humvee was all over the Middle East. Well, we’re still in that region, but other vehicles will take over and leave Humvee Skeletons covered in sand.
