This reconnaissance Stryker was destroyed Dec. 13 when a roadside bomb near Samarra ignited its engine. The fire set off ammunition, but the vehicle's driver was the only injured soldier.

Interesting.
Note the bent upward front grill.
And only one injury.
God was watching over that guy.
Thing is, from the sprung front grill it doesn't appear to have been too big an IED.

You happen to notice that the tires on that lowboy transporter don't look like anything to brag about at a CMMI either? Looks like something's taking its toll on rubber tires in theater.
