The administration is too busy giving military vehicles to local police departments to worry about Soldiers.
Johnson refused new equipment the troops in Vietnam too...
The Stryker was never meant to do what the mil has been doing with it. They loaded it down with extra armor and all kinds of extraneous passive defenses, then put it in as a front-line urban combat vehicle rather than the light-infantry open country combat it was intended for. It’s also been in-service for a couple of decades, despite having been originally brought in as a stop-gap while they brought the new generation of tracked combat vehicles into production. Blame that one on Shinseki along with those stupid berets.

It’s time to pull out troops out of the field - shut down our embassies in these moslem nations and regroup after Obama is impeached and his administration jailed...
Right now - we are doing nothing but wasting our troops and equipment on a lost cause...
Buy American.
This is where the pudgy teen girls, don't do too well, muscle oriented maintenance and repairs.

I’m thinking Patton (isn’t he the guy who established this base for desert training?) would keel over hearing it takes them hours to change a tire.
