You do a great job when you stick to facts. When you start dishing up unsubstaniated rumors, one begins to wonder when you will be fitted for your tin-foil hat.
Have you actually talked to a live soldier, NCO, or officer from a Stryker unit? I have. Many, including a number who are currently in combat. I have also talked to the technical folks who have examined in great detail each combat engagment resulting in damage to a Stryker vehicle. Their accounts bear no resemblence to the so called rumors that you report. And, the article you posted is a blatant hit piece without the slighest connection to reality.
"Rumor has it" that Bush was behind 9/11, too.
Rumors are free, and often worth every penny.
"Rumor has it that there has been more than one combat refusal to go out the gate in the Stryker."
I've heard that too. In various forms with the most common being, "I would rather walk than get cooked in the back of a Stryker."
