"The difference between a Stryker and an M-113 is like the difference between a Yugo and a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost," Garamone wrote. He also said the Stryker handled better than the M-113, was much faster (with a top speed of 60 m.p.h.), had better armor, and could carry more troops

I don't know what to think- on the one hand, "POGO" sounds like a group that would slam any weapon system. On the other, I've read articles claiming that modern '113s are a huge improvement over the original, are lighter, easier to load on a C130, are already in inventory, and can be uparmored to surpass the level of armor on a stryker.

any treadheads want to chime in?

I've been chiming in since July.

Tracks versus wheels is one of those perennial topics, like 9mm versus .45.

I like tracks and .45's.

The vehicles that beat the Srtker in the roll-off were M113A3s. They are to the M113 what a Crown Victoria is to a Model "A."
