If I recall correctly, the civilian version Hummer retailed for around $100,000. Arnold Schwarzenegger has (or at least had) one.
Saw one of the civilian versions many years ago maneuvering through Seattle on I-5 as I was driving home from work. The lady driving appeared terrified as she tried to change lanes with the 8 ft. wide behemoth in rush hour traffic
Reminds one of the 70's VW "drop" adverts

If Top Gear had air dropped a Toyota Pickup out the back of Herc without a chute they would have been able to bash it back into shape and drive home in it.....
Toyota as favoured by Top Gear and ISIS.

After the first one crashed, how come nobody aborted further drops?
When the second one - in a different aircraft - also fell it beggars belief that further drops were not aborted.

I understand the need for diligence and why one has to do the inquiry process, but as with so much in the self-described "World's best small army" the sense of over-reaction is mind-numbing at times.
