Anything to keep our equipment from being handed over to the N.V. A long-standing policy of the US Armed forces to never abandon useable weapons platforms, or vehicles, Something our current government completely ignores.
This was also the reason why older Military vehicles had a 4inch diameter fuel fill hole, to allow for a hand grenade to dropped into the tank, just wrap a blousing rubber around the handle pull the pin and you had a time bomb
