The same thing goes for IEDs. the majority of 
them are useless once the guys have a bit of a 
hint on the tactics to get around them. IT takes 
less than 5 minutes for a Bison to roll up and 
defeat an IED. Mines are in the exact same class.

IEDs as used aren't an effective military weapon. 
They don't do didly squat to the military forces 
in a military sense. Accidents and disease are 
pretty darn close to the same area.
