Aren't Hummers and HMMWVs quite similar, im sure that if they got stuck on wet grass then the US Military and 42 other militaries around the world wouldnt use them for pretty much anything you can think of to do with off road travel on and off the battlefield?

The US has 55,000 in 17 different configurations of HMMWVs, I guess they dont drive any of them on grass....

There are also many many videos out there where hummers (ex military)dont make it, yet other non modified vehicles do. Crawling over rocks is a good example.

IFS was made for comfort at speed, not flex. Flex = traction in extreme angles.
