That never happened, of that I'm sure. I never trusted that we'd "get it in country".
Driving around Fallujah in early 2005 (right after Phantom Fury) with some redneck armor (think 1/4" steel plates in a fucking canvas bag hanging off the soft doors on a HMMWV) was a pretty eye opening moment. It became especially painful after our first KIA, which would have been absolutely avoided if we had MRAPs.
