Pity the poor souls that ride that hearse.

The poor souls wrote the requirements for their "hearse" and this is at least getting close to what they wanted for ULCV. It hasn't entered acquisition phase yet, basically a technology demonstration. This isn't competing with JLTV, it is for a niche role to operate predominantly off-road with enhanced mobility.

I have seen lots of pictures of Seals riding into combat in a rubber boat.

It looks like a suicide boat to me but then I know that they know what they are doing.

One grenade or RPG would kill them all. A death trap for 14 troops concentrated in one vehicle with no armor or protection. And the gas tank to carry this thing 500 miles must be huge. A fiery deathtrap, too.
