I'm fairly certain people are talking about like tank armor not underwear.

Same thing. It has to be barely thick enough to stop a predefined caliber weapon. And made of the cheapest possible material that still makes the armored vehicle mobile. Equipping armies is kind of expensive.

That's compleat bullshit at least with the US army they overspend by millions and are constantly one upping every army on earth and either way a military tank is better than a civilian grade sedan.

Because everyone needs their cut.

either way a military tank is better than a civilian grade sedan.

Because they're two different vehicles, not two different classes of product. If you compare military grade phones to civilian phones, the civilian would be better, and probably cheaper due to not having the buzzwords attached. And I bet a tank made by a private firm for non-government entities would in fact be better and cheaper than a military tank.
