You cannot discard every legitemate concern about the Stryker because somebody writes a great story. People who’ve worked with, driven in and lived in combat vehicles have had legitimate issues with the Stryker from the start. Not all of those concerns have been alleviated.

Where did I do that? I merely pointed out that legions of so-called "experts" around here questioned things like its mobility and protection. Issues that have been proven to be completely wrong.

No, really? It isn't perfect? Go figure.

I just read a journal article on some proposed improvements to the M1. Already a pretty robust system, no? But there's always room for improvement.

Some around here predicted the worst for the Stryker, and they were proven wrong.
