The 1K-2K mileage life average takes into account the vehicles that are destroyed. However, the military now runs on "One Fuel" which is JP8. Anyone who knows much about diesel systems will tell you to never run straight #1 diesel especially long term due to the lack of lubricating ability for the pump. JP8 is pretty close to Kerosene. Now figure all the extra weight added by the extra armor, running on JP8 which easily has only 2/3 the btu content of #2 diesel, that makes for engines pretty much running flat out in temps well above 100 with the A/C on. From what my brother has told me after being on 3 tours in Iraq, when they fuel with JP8 they typically have a top speed of 40mph. If they fuel with #2 diesel, they top out about 65mph.
