Lonnie Shoultz did not write that article. It is written under the name of Nick Bryant in a magazine in New Zealand. What have they got to do with Strykers anyway?

Here is a novel idea, read a post thoroughly, The Nick Bryant article uses large portions of previous articles from Lonnie Shoultz, and as other people have already told you the Stryker is of the same family as the LAV 111, a vehicle the NZ Army has just purchased.

As to the second part of your post, grow up

New Zealand bought 105 of those junkers and soon realized what a blunder they had made. Currently they are using one half of their force for deployment and one half for training the follow-on crews.

The New Zealand Royal Defense Force bought over 100 Strykers while watching ours roll over, bog down and really make asses of themselves. Now we cannot take it to Afghanistan because the roads are too small? WHAT? Did we build a fleet of land warriors that cannot leave the road?
