What they really need is transformer-like chem gear; push a button, and Jetson style, you are protected. I dreaded the quarterly training during the warm humid weather (I cringe thinking of Korea in the summer) sporting a charcoal suit, flak vest, helmet, and nifty over boots---but it was stylish!

The military always needs vehicles to protect them. Whether at war or not, they have to be prepared.
