Looking back the Bradley did very well.

"Looking back" at the reason tanks were invented, the Bradley is a great tank. It can break the stalemate of trench warfare with enough mobility to get past the mud, enough armor to resist man-portable rapid-fire weapons (machine guns) and near-miss artillery shrapnel. It has enough firepower to take out machine gun nests and soldier-built obstacles (log/dirt emplacements).

It's not clear that it's the right solution in the face of enemies widely equipped with RPGs, but it might be when used as part of a combined arms force (as it was designed to be). A Bradley with a dismounted squad should be a lot better bet than nearly any alternative.

And it even has TOWs if it finds the occasional tank.

In desert storm Bradleys killed more enemy battle tanks than our tanks did.
