| D9 Caterpillar |
Goes Well With Boots By Isaac Fenn Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have a new weapon. The child of the Kibbutz tractor, the D9 has proved itself as the winning ace! The Caterpillar D9 is truly mighty after an Israeli made armor is installed. Gunfire and explosives leave nothing but scratches and dirt on this machine. The front blade is a wall of solid steel, which breaks through anything... even BONES! This beauty can level its way through any terrain obstacle or home; it excels at bulldozing fruit trees. While extremely radical and pathetic leftist groups are trying unsuccessfully to arrange a boycott against Caterpillar Inc., U.S. officials were impressed by the effective use of the bulldozers and ordered 12 for Iraq. The D9s have performed excellently! "These bulldozers received highly favorable reviews from all that benefited from their use. They were seen clearing a row of buildings effectively within an extremely short period of time. Also, they were used in quickly clearing a highway for use and constructing hasty combat roads. Marines stated that the D9 can do the equivalent of approximately (4) D7 dozers." -Field Report: Marine Corps Systems Command Liaison Team, Central Iraq, April 2003. Supercool! Please note: Caterpillar, Inc. also makes pretty cool hats and rugged jeans. |
