It's unclear exactly what "the military" means in the title, but if it means any military force then this list (if ever completed) would be huge. We already have many pages that are or contain lists of military vehicles by operator (e.g. pages in Category:Lists of currently active military vehicles) so having (what the title indicates is) a single list across all countries/periods is not a good way to organize things.

Delete per nom. Does not seem to be an appropriate scope for an article. OSborn ^arf_contribs. 22:21, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete vague in scope and unfinishable. If intended to be types currently in use, it will be impossible to list all types (security); if intended to be a historic list, it might as well list every vehicle ever produced. This is because in both World Wars, the British government (among others) requisitioned large numbers of vehicles, a proportion of which were allocated to the military. These commandeered vehicles were of many different makes and types, often it was a case of "is it in working order - if not, can it be made so?". Nothing was sacred. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:42, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete to wide a remit for one article. MilborneOne (talk) 08:53, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - would be impossible to complete and grow to be massive. We have more specific lists already. Ansh6 6 6 19:35, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the above. I have no idea how this has survived since 2005 given its obvious problems around scope. Nick-D (talk) 02:06, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
