Re: Trucks, in Ogre
Military trucks do tend to be big. I learned to drive the FMTV line while I was in the Army, and they're far larger than you might think for "medium" trucks. They are comparable in length and height to an M1 Abrams, though narrower. The real heavy vehicles quickly get monstrous; the Russians have a bunch of outright enormous transport vehicles.
It's really not that weird if you think of just how big a regular tractor-trailer is. We're used to them, so we don't give them much thought, remember that they're something like 70 feet long and eleven high!
