Your #161 is the best logic I have seen on FR in a long time. The M151's came close to providing that until the Army decided to put ROPS on them. Required everyone to wear a seatbelt. Just try to get untangled from the LBE web gear and un-ass the vehicle in a firefight. Mission impossible, but without the ROPS and no seatbelts, put sandbags on the floors and fenders and there was at least a psychological effect that you might survive a small mine.
