This is great information.

So, do I have it right based on what you kindly wrote?

1. The so-called Nikon 'war camera'

There is no "war camera". That's your own invention. If you would
ask a credentialed combat photo-journalist why he chose the cameras he
carries, he'd talk about the features non-related to durability. His
"war" preparation is more likely to be his camera bag because he's
concerned about how the camera is protected when *not* being used.

Sgt Jeremy Lock was Military Photographer of the Year in 2007. He
carries a Nikon D2X. You could break a D2X just as easily as a D40.
