"The primary purpose of an army - to be ready to fight effectively at all times - seemed to have been forgotten.... The leadership I found in many instances was sadly lacking and I said so out loud. The unwillingness of the army to forgo certain creature comforts, its timidity about getting off the scanty roads, its reluctance to move without radio and telephone contact, and its lack of imagination in dealing with a foe whom they soon outmatched in firepower and dominated in the air and on the surrounding seas - these were not the fault of the Soldier, but of the policymakers at the top." --General Matthew Ridgway on the US Army During the Korean War www.geocities.com Part of the confusion the wheeled idiots create is to not differentiate between UNARMORED wheeled trucks and trying to slap a metal box on top of wheels. If you are very light you can be somewhat cross-country mobile with high RPMs and floatation with dune buggies but this has repeatedly failed once military equipment piles on as seen in the 9th High Technology Test Bed Division flop in the 1980s. www.geocities.com To get some payload, unarmored wheeled trucks with high torque like Land Rovers/Humvees can somewhat go cross-country--but only gingerly and getting stuck is common.
