Let's refresh your memory about sedition.
 

SEC. 2. That if any person shall write, print, utter. Or publish, or shall cause or procure to be written, printed, uttered or published, or shall knowingly and willingly assist or aid in writing, printing, uttering or publishing any false, scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the government of the United States, or either house of the Congress of the United States, or the President of the United States, with intent to defame the said government, or either house of the said Congress, or the said President, or to bring them. or either of them, into contempt or disrepute; or to excite against them, or either or any of them, the hatred of the good people of the United States, or to excite any unlawful combinations therein, for opposing or resisting any law of the United States, or any act of the President of the United States, done in pursuance of any such law, or of the powers in him vested by the constitution of the United States, or to resist, oppose, or defeat any such law or act, or to aid, encourage or abet any hostile designs of any foreign nation against the United States, their people or government, then such person, being thereof convicted before any court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars, and by imprisonment not exceeding two years.

I guess that LTC Michael K. Robel, USAR and the owners of StrategyPage.com are seditionists also.

Man, I guess you better tell the FBI about this author on Rense.com

Currently the Strike Force centerpiece is the LAVIII/IV 'Stryker' Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Unlike the B-52, it is a completely new vehicle. Also unlike the B-52, it does not meet the standards set by the Army Chief of Staff. The 21-24 ton armored car rides on eight air-filled rubber tires elevated high above the road, driven through a complicated and sensitive kluge of transmission drive shafts, steering and suspension. At $3 Million per LAV copy, The LAV does not even meet the requirements of effectiveness, maneuverability and transportability. It cannot fit into a C-130 without extensive temporary modifications that must be reversed upon delivery for combat. The rubber wheels are vulnerable to the simplest urban weapon: the Molotov Cocktail. Trapped in a narrow street it cannot turn in its own length to escape. Crossing swampy plains, its weight bogs it down, and it cannot swim so it is limited to bridge crossings. Restricted to highways and roads, the LAV cannot support operations away from a well- established infrastructure. Tracked vehicles were developed to take the place of wheeled ones operating in difficult and hazardous conditions, yet the Army is insisting on returning to wheels. The published reasons: speed, weight and flexibility are all spurious. No wheeled combat vehicle today can keep up with an M1A2 Tank operating with its governors off. No wheeled combat vehicle can turn 180 degrees within its own length as any tracked vehicle can. Tracked vehicles reduce ground pressure over the length of the vehicle unlike wheeled vehicles that have a very narrow tire print on which to place their weight. And the M113 is designed to swim, freeing it from being road and bridge bound. The Army has 17,000 M113A3s that already meet the requirements for the Strike Force vehicle. Known today as the 'Gavin,' the M113 weighs in at 10.5-13 tons, well below the 24-ton weight of the Stryker. The Gavin is the Army's equivalent of the rugged, dependable 'B-52.' Now in the A3 version, it has been re-tracked, up-engined, and modernized so it can go in any terrain: jungle, mountain, desert and urban. Most importantly, it can be loaded into a C-130 without any modifications, and offloaded at the danger point ready-to-fight. Ask why the Army insisting on buying a vehicle that doesn't meet its own standards. There has to be a reason other than operational necessity. We are fighting for the survival of world freedom; We are fighting for each other; Give us the tools to do the job.
