A Hummer? An honest to *od US issue Hummer!?
You've got to be freepin kidding me.
This show, it writers and producers, have shown a consistent lack of imagination for a story that is supposed to be about an alien culture in a far off part of the galaxy.
I'm surprised they didn't slap a US flag on the ship and call the planet that got nuked - New York.
You have to understand, certain concepts are universal, independent of time, place, and culture.
Chief among them is "accountant."

It's not supposed to be an alien culture in a far off galaxy. It's supposed to be another version of us, we're supposed to be the 13th colony of Kobol, they're the other 12. It's not a lack of imagination on their part, it's a lack of understanding on yours, the culture is supposed to be largely us, with just enough differences to make it sci-fi. That's one of the basic concepts of both versions of BSG.
