I sure as hell wouldn't. Doesn't provide any over from the sides or overhead, is extremely light which causes it to flip very easily and wouldn't do very effective in a warzone. Overall it would be suicide if you ask me.
The Driver - Partial cover, no cover from the sides or overhead.
Passenger - Same deal as Driver although has no priority.
Gunner - No Cover aside from the front which is still minimal.
Weaponry - 1 12.7x99mm armor penetration gun turret
If I were to find one and tell two men from my platoon to join me, I would gladly be passenger.
So basically, would you use a Warthog in a Modern War? I wouldn't.
EDIT: Weight is debatable, it's 3.5 tons, yet it can flip easily?
Warthogs aren't meant for modern warfare, their for fighting a completely different type of enemy. I.e. light anti armour aircraft. Cover isn't going to save you from a banshee bomb, but a larger area of sight so that you can take it down first, is. Plus cover is less necessery due to the amount of armour that marines wear.
