Oh too true. But I was commenting vis a vis effectiveness in a COIN/peacekeeping role amongst a civilian population.

The civilians, or at least this civilian, will be more negatively concerned, perception-wise, by tracked and turreted vehicles than by wheeled vehicles.

Whereas a combat engineer will merely perceive a tracked vehicle as a plum target for anti-tank mines
