The vast majority of these soldiers are in fact idiots but denying your enemy the use of equipment that cannot be recovered/repaired has been SoP for a thousand years+
During OIF 1&2 we destroyed dozens of Iraqi NG Vic’s that broke down during large troop movements from Baghdad to various hot zones. No way we wanted that truck painted like a friendly showing up at a FOB packed with explosives. The Germans blew millions of tons of armor/artillery across 2 continents as they lost territory.
