This is a great example of teamwork and practice, but, I don't get it. Why is this engineering? Why is the ability to take a Jeep apart and reassemble it in 4 minutes "simply great design"? Is that what Jeeps are for?

It takes a lot more forethought and skill to make something complex simple than it takes to make something simple complex. That is what makes Apple's products stand out and it is incredibly hard.
By saying "that's what Jeeps are for" you are just taking it for granted... Vehicles don't grow on trees.
Asking "what Jeeps are for" was meant to get at the design goals and I did not mean to dis what is otherwise a very fascinating design choice.
The fact that you can easily pickup and install the parts quickly in a mine field while under fire is a big plus.
In a hostile context like you describe (if that's what this is meant for) don't you think there might be other design considerations?
While I can see and agree with the point that people are making, I would just prefer if they were substantiated.
