Not insulted. I just assume people have good reasons for picking their vehicle. I need to transport plywood, lawnmowers, and Somervillain furniture. My old Subaru wagon could do this, but it's a lot easier with the truck. My brother needs to be able to tow his backhoe, so he needed a big truck. My peeve is not seeing why someone would need a Lexus when an equivalently sized Toyota would do.
I'm with you on not seeing why anyone would need a luxury military vehicle. I will, however, say that taller vehicles tend to be easier to get into and out of as your flexibility decreases, especially if you have leg problems. I don't think I would've been able to easily get into or out of my Subaru for several days after I had my accident. It was nice to be able to just swing my legs sideways and sort of slide out of my truck without having to flex my knees a lot.
