Since the war is starting to die down, many troops are looking forward to returning back home. The military are using MRAPV, Mine Restistance Ambush Protected Vehicles, to get the troops into a safe base. This vehicle weighs 170 tons to insure the safety of the troops. Many troops are excited to return home but don't want to get too excited because anything can happen. There are helicopters that protect the vehicles because they travel 20mph for 10 hours a day. At this time, the troops are most vulnerable because they are on thier way home. The danger on their journey home is extremely dangerous because they are not prepared to fight again. This relates to class because the technology being used is increasing. Wars are becoming more advanced to secure safety. It also shows how their is constant war going on.
