The Stryker, an eight-wheeled infantry transporter, is an armored vehicle designed to stop 124.5 mm rounds. Critics said the main threat in Iraq is rocket-propelled grenades, and that the vehicle would not provide protection from them.

Well this is good news.

Some folks here think it's a pile of crap -- they can take it up with those very much ALIVE soldiers in that Stryker.

Me, I don't know, but I'm hoping it's a good and mostly safe transport/reconn vehicle.
