no doubt that was the explanation for Hummers in Iraq, only for them to have to get hillbilly armor
other militaries are able to do greater specialisation with intermediate and medium weight, they have heavy motorised/light mechanised in 4x4/6x6 MRAP trucks and LAV APCs, in between light and armored forces
the US Army was reluctant to get MRAP trucks in Iraq despite pick related and had to be dragged kicking and screaming to use the Stryker (which has now been whittled down to just 6 active duty brigades)
