The point is that it is intended to go into direct combat and frankly who cares what it was intended for? We are on a nondoctrinal battlefield and will probably find ourselves on others for the forseeable future. We shouldn't buy any military vehicles without at least some basic armoring.

HMMWV Mission Provide a common light tactical vehicle capability. Replaced the quarter-ton jeep, M718A1 ambulance, half-ton Mule, 1.25-ton Gamma Goat, and M792 ambulance.

I agree, that basic armor should be on all vehicles IF it can fit the mission type.
