Stryker Crews Find New Vehicles Can Take A Punch
Maybe, but that "tornado fence" they had to put on the thing still looks silly, even if it did work.
Wonder what they mean by 'rebuilt'?
"Rebuilt" can mean a bunch of different things depending upon who is asked.
(My old motors section would say 'rebuilt' means taken down to the frame and put back together.)
I spoke with a returning Stryker Brigade hero last month. He told me of a time when they were rolling thru a city street with buildings on each side. There was an explosion, and the buildings on both sides of them were levelled....and they kept rolling right along. IMHO - they are only too expensive if they don't work.
I'm ready for a new tv show on either MTV or the Pentagon Channel:
Pimp my Stryker.
Trick them out, spinning wheels, fancy paint, DVD players etc.
Most of the guys who I went to war with, those who stayed in, wanted to stay Stryker. Even the guys who grew up on Bradleys and Tanks.
