Plus, they absolutely destroy our roads and infrastructure, since our roads weren't designed for regular use by tanks.
Why don't we start just giving cops our decommissioned ships too? I'm sure the NYPD could find a way to use a nuclear sub to harass and kill minorities.
They aren't that bad, mainly because they are lightly armored. They're basically just a lifted semi truck with an armoured V shape hull.
As far as damaging infrastructure they prob have to be real careful about driving them into the bottoms of bridges or snagging power lines.
They are just absolutely tactically worthless outside of fighting in an insurgency that's IED happy. Years ago you could buy them at auction, pretty sure Alex Jones had one for a while. On second thought there's a pretty good chance The Onion might have an MRAP.
Shitass NYPD also has surface to air missiles.
