Probably did better service as a recruiting tool than as a recon vehicle.

'XR 311' still brings up my link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Patrol_Vehicle Catfish is right on! It was based on the VW Kübelwagon rear-wheel drive: Recruiting tool? NOPE! The first U.S. forces to enter Kuwait City were United States Navy SEALs in DPVs. I'd need an ice pack 'Kabooti' seat

for my Kübelwagon'd cahones bouncing around in that !

I'll go with that then.

Speaking of Iraq, they have Saddam's Head on display inside the museum if anyone wants to speak to him.

No problem.

I don't think the US Army would mind either.

Here's a few additional pictures if you need more visual reference. Just try to leave out the rust and the bent bits.
