But—but, Genmeral Shinseki (sp?) assured us that the tank was obsolete and the wheeled Stryker would be the optimal weapon. Somehow, I think we are short on tanks and short on any thing but up armored Hummers.
Thus the great fallacy of so called strategists and tacticians who consistently state that Armor is DEAD. As long as there is combined arms warfare, there will be a need for the heavy armor. Anybody here remember the Sci-Fi books written by David Drake, called HAMMER'S SLAMMERS? Armor out the wazoo!
