>>5448>If the Toyota war proved anything, it was that armies have no excuses not to be fully equipping all their soldiers with trucks these days. Trucks are cheap, easy to make, easy to find, easy to modify, and are easy to use. Your answer makes way too much sense and is too logical for high ranking military officers to listen to /srs.
>vidreltl;dw Dude could snipe and kill a target with a bullet that costs pennies to make, but instead the fatass-general decides to use millions of dollars worth of muntions to smoke them. I'm not a jarhead myself, nor have I ever enlisted, but if this movie clip and what the comments say are accurate, military officers may be too privlleged and confident to employ something like a Toyota truck, on both sides, NATO and Russia. I mean, look at the picture in your OP. It gets the job done, but it's DIY as shit, even a lowly-Marine wouldn't want to be caught dead in a NATO-supplied Toyota truck they could likely drive on their own back home in borgerland. No, they need a billion-dollar humvee with topgear beer coolers and iPhone chargers, and anything less is too ghetto to cut it. Another point, unrelated, could be that they may have tarrifs or something on the vehicles.
