"I would feel safer in a Volvo than I would in one of these Humvees," says Murphy, 25, a reservist with the 372nd Military Police Company out of Cumberland, Md., and currently a law student at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

"I actually witnessed a bomb go off and wound four soldiers from the 82nd Airborne in an unarmored Humvee. That's the end of their military careers," says Murphy, who returned from Iraq in August.

In Alabama, veterans, soldiers and even high school students from the Gulf Coast village of Foley and nearby town of Bay Minette put homemade armor on vehicles when they learned last year that a unit of the Alabama National Guard was headed to Iraq. Army reservists with the Missouri-based 428th Transportation Company also had armor made for their trucks last year. And some relatives of Illinois National Guardsmen based in Chicago offered to pay to weld steel plates on the unit's trucks going to Iraq to provide better protection.
