The machine was built as part of a U.S. military desire for a 'multi-mission medical and casualty evacuation unmanned air vehicle/unmanned ground vehicle',
So they build this to rescue people that get injured where you don't want to send people to? So who loads these people in who are where you don't want to send rescuers?

Oh I get it, they self-load. It is kinda like self-deporting.

Looks like a mechanical nightmare piece of crap that the DOD will probably pay $80,000,000 each for, then park them in the desert and never use them.

I prefer style over substance ...or at least in this case.

These right wing Military wannabes give me a case of the ass going around in their Bass Pro-shops Camos and driving Hummers.

Most of them wouldn't last through the first day of basic before they would be crying for their Mama's.
