  1. Per the Vietnam era Huey -- doors work against piling out of the machine. This machine is designed for today's version of Light Cavalry. The decision matrix has convinced the Pentagon that it's IMPOSSIBLE to lay on enough armor to stop missiles while meeting the mission mobility requirements. Think of these beasts as also suitable for the revival of Dragoons. You get out of the machine// dismount and THEN enter combat. By being 'civilian-quiet' the machine does not acoustically inform all and every that the American military has arrived. This is not a convoy oriented machine. If a missile is in-coming, electronics on board is expected to alert the troops to INSTANTLY bail out... hence no doors. These machines are expendables. Heck, with no doors and no occupants -- figure on many a missile to fly straight through and be harmless -- IF you've jumped clear.
