Mit Toilette: Ein Blick in den „Boxer“

Die ersten der neuen Gepanzerten Transport-Kraftfahrzeuge, Bundeswehr-(nicht Tier-)Name Boxer, sind in Afghanistan. Und die neuen Autos für den Einsatz sind nicht nur Respekt einflößend und mit allem ausgerüstet, was man von einem Fahrzeug im Einsatz erwartet, sondern haben auch interessante neue Features, die das ISAF-Regionalkommando Nord im Bild vorstellt:

Ich gebe ja zu: Als ich mich schon vor Jahren mit Leuten von der Gruppe Weiterentwicklung der Infanterie in Hammelburg unterhielt und die von Wasserkocher und Toilette im neuen Mutterschiff der Infanterie-Gruppe sprachen, habe ich das für eine etwas utopische Vorstellung gehalten. Aber das ist jetzt Realität.

Aber es gibt natürlich auch das, was man erwartet hat:
