Well, Cannoneer, after all the analysis and opinions about Stryker, I guess we're about to get some answers now that they're deploying to the sunni triangle. Even though I've been a critic of the Stryker, I sure hope this deployment goes well. (Fingers crossed)

They're going to do all right. They will make the Stryker work for them or detach them for convoy escort and kick down doors afoot. Even an M1 can be destroyed by a big enough IED. The more time they spend on that vehicle, the more good ideas for field modifications they will come up with. I wouldn't be surprised if if they are unrecognizable by this time next year. They will probably sprout extra hatches and machine guns and gun shields, might lose the RWS if it gets in the way. Stryker will evolve into a fighting vehicle through the "rock soup" recipe.
