Game ethics question

[Montana Grizz]

When I joined this site a couple of years ago, one of the first things I learned was the no-no about using unloaded transports as spotters/blocking roads/etc.

Any transport with a weapon/offensive capabilities was excluded.

My question is about the American Jeep.

With few exceptions, it had no weapon, but was widely used as a recon vehicle.

Can one use the jeep as a spotter?

Thank you,

Pat
