The article is okay, but the author makes it painfully clear that he does not understand armoured warfare doctrine. Rather, he sounds like a technophile with a very basic understanding of military affairs.

The tank is going to be around a lot longer than any of the Pentagon's Jedi Knights would like to admit. The tank may be slow in getting to the theater, but so is most everything required to enable an armed force to operate effectively in any high-intensity conflict. It is the logistical infrastructure required for modern war that is slowest of all to arrive and deploy, and I cannot help but wonder if Rummy & Co. fully appreciate that fact. It would be a shame if we encountered a foe tougher than Saddam's Iraqis and had to learn the hard way.

That would fit the web site.

Other military stuff on the site.
