Agreed. You could do the same thing in Bedford MK trucks and the UK used to move infantry companies from one side of the BAOR Corps Area in hours, but Bedford MKs had all the protection of a family car. MTVRs are much better, but MRAPs are even better protected, and can possibly deliver troops in better condition.

What I am trying to do with this thread (and I am extremely grateful for ALL the input) is error check a very simple concept that I can use to demonstrate a line of thinking to judge the usefulness of an idea. -

...and why would many Marines would prefer to do so? Comfort? Protection? Simplicity?
