It’s not really limited to terrorists, is it? I mean in the popular imagination but essentially technicals are actually great for a lot of rough terrain variable condition combat. But yeah I understand it’s a big deal in the popular imagination.

Hahah I did not know that. What I meant was lots of third world military and militia types use technicals, that’s all.
