If a piece of wire or a small stone was on the road & was flicked up, it could jam in the now exposed caliper/ pad region. This never happened to me.
It would be fair to say Army is right!!
We cant go making suggestions/recommendations that potentially could compromise the braking system on a car.

Thanks for that - but - I think it is worth saying that it is a "could" or an "if" situation. The brake shield doesn't stop 100% of the debris...
It isn't quite the same as saying if you drink 12 litres of rat poison 1000 miles away from any medical help you will die...
