MREeater: Hillbilly armor
I have a picture that shows the front of a HMMWV after an encounter with an IED. The front end was completely blown off. The engine, fenders, tires, everything is missing. You just see the windshield and the firewall. The occupants were not seriously injured, which is testimony to the design and build of the HMMWVs, and to the personal protection soldiers wear. In my unit, we were all required to wear ear and eye protection every time we left the FOB, in addition to our helmets and body armor.
Meghatározás
Gyakran pejoratív értelemben használt szó elsősorban az amerika déli államaiban, a hegyekben élő, elmaradott, vidéki emberekre. Amíg a redneck vagy a cracker kifejezés azokra a fehér amerikaiakra utal, akik beilleszkedtek a társadalomba, a hillbillyk a domináns kultúrától elszigetelten élnek.
