Anyone know where to get list of how much armour $40 million would buy?

AAR ran a list of what kind of protection for our soldiers $40 million would buy. I don't see it posted on their website.

1. I've heard 250 HumVee's could be properly uparmored for that price.

Center for American Progress had a great bulletin on what $40MM could buy.....
