Humvees don't have large quantities of armor because they are not tanks.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

By todays standards, I don't think that would be an accurate source you got that from since the BAR probably wasn't even used after the second world war, unless your grandfather kept one or something. Second, the humm-vee in the game, while modeled similar to a real one, doesn't have the same dynamics of a real one. What humm-vee in the world today could withstand 6 anti-tank rockets, over 100 steel-warhead bullets, 4 n00b cannon bullets, several tank shells, C4 explosives, nuclear strikes, grenades, head on collision.. not to mention the tyres never go bust, it never runs out of fuel, it has unlimited M60 ammunition.. and when it does die, it doesn't end up in a wreck, it just blows into pieces never to be seen again, and the driver lives.
If I had a humm-vee like that, I'd be rich just by giving people test drives.
