With all due respect, the Stryker's air transportability IS a big problem and it is true.

Washington Post; GAO Calls Stryker Too Heavy for Transport
Weight of Armored Vehicle Cuts Flying Range of C-130 Aircraft, Congress Is Told

"The Stryker program -- expected to have a total cost of about $8.7 billion for acquiring about 1,800 vehicles...." to me is a boondoggle. Unless one thinks $4,833,333 EACH is a 'good buy'?

[Cannoneer No. 4]

You would cancel the program because the vehicle is too heavy for the C-130?

What would you do with the Stryker Brigades already equipped?

With what would you replace the Stryker? How long would that take?

They are a good buy if they funnel enough money back to your congressional district. That's all that matters in Washington.
