An LGEV may be the closest thing in the game to a tank that's not a tank destroyer - an armored vehicle too lightly armed to reliably destroy armor units of similar size.

That's a very interesting observation, and I can't really find fault with it in principle. Especially in the modern battlefield where INF are generally not used to capture open ground like they used to, with armor only acting in a supporting role. Yes, you need soldiers on the ground to hold captured territory, but footsoldiers aren't your primary field unit in the same environs as tanks - and with powered armor in Ogre the INF have become the IFVs of their day...
