That vehicle shown in the video built by the firm that didn't get the contract looked to fit the bill.
If it were my backside on the line no way in hell would I pick that piece of crap, and I'm being gracious in calling it that, which was chosen!
Which of the two vehicles would YOU want to be in combat in if they both fit the bill?

I was in combat with the normal old Jeep and the normal old Huey Chopper and the normal old fatigues and the only armor that I saw was the M 113s not much armor there.

So depending on the mission for the American Growler - which is the transporter for a 120 mm mtr and others it is in a position where it cannot have armor because of the mission and its requirement to be transported by the Osprey, and other choppers.
