Lots of mil items are sold to the public, just stop in you're local surplus store. And according to the web site you provided, there are HUMMV's out there. You over generalize.

A Humvee should not be looked at as a tactical attack vehicle. A Humvee provides Basic Transportation (BT), no more and no less. A large number of Humvees are retasked to do different roles such as Air Defense (a.k.a. the Avenger), but it essentiall serves as a BT system to move from spot to spot. I'm in the military and I don't need a lot of options and "extras" that create problems. I need a simple, basic vehicle that can take a lot of damage while still working. Options and "extras" just create maintenance issues. Advances in auto tech for street vehicles does not directly impact military vehcile tech. If you want to show me improved protective armor for a military vehicle that came from a "street car" I would be very interested. What advances do you want?
