Lol. They don't even try to come up with believable lies. For those who don't know, for obvious reasons military vehicles have basically flat proof tires. No you are not ruining them with a spike that fits in the palm of your hand. They could have asked anyone who served in any modern military on Earth in like, idk, the past 40 years (at least), "Hey would this work?" and they'd get laughed at. It would be nice if they would respect us enough to at least try.
