Topic: The US Military
Although it would seem logical to assume that US soldiers would only drive military vehicles (humvees, tanks, large tucks, etc), many soldiers working inside the Green Zone drive sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Presumably the Green Zone is safe enough for soldiers to drive around without any major fear of an attack or an IED.

The U.S. military isn't the only group driving SUVs inside the Green Zone. SUVs are the most common vehicle used by U.S. government employees, reconstruction contractors, and other embassies. There are so many SUVs in Iraq, it is very weird seeing a car, and when I do, generally it is almost always being driven by an Iraqi.
