    A military truck doesn’t cost anywhere near 10M. Humvees cost $70-100K, a bigger military truck costs about twice that. Considering off-road capability, crew protection, and ease of repair, it’s a far better investment than a dump truck (which costs $100-200K).

    Of course those prices don’t include the weapon systems, but dump trucks don’t come standard with rocket launchers either.
