There have been nine rollovers over here to date. This thing's center of gravity is so high and the track so narrow, that it's an accident waiting to happen. It's a high tech joke and everyone over here (who isn't a brain-washed owner-operator) knows it.

Are the guys there still under orders not to refer to their vehicles as *Stynkers?*

More slamming of the Stryker. I can't say I am enamored with it, but it seems to be doing the job, and oh by the way, the 9 roll overs? Right now the credibility of that is about zilch. First and foremost, with the proliferation of the internet that would not be kept under wraps. The most serious incident is one that was destroyed by an IED, the only serious injury was a broken leg by the driver. I saw drivers in Vietnam setting on top of a M113 (ACAV) get blown off and killed. 'Nuff said on that for now.
