Let me read you a quote from General [Dwight David] Eisenhower:

"The DUCK, an amphibious vehicle, proved to be one of the most valuable pieces of equipment produced by the U.S. during the war. Four other pieces of equipment that most senior officers came to regard as most vital to our success in Africa and Europe were the bulldozer, the jeep, the two-and-a-half ton truck, and the C-47 airplane. Curiously enough, none of these is designed for combat."
