I don't agree. The last place you want to be includes HMMWVs, trucks, AAV's, M113s, LAV-25. The first place you want to be is in a M-1. Stryker lies somewhere in between.
Mr. Lind errs by comparing the Stryker and the LAV-25 with the M-1 tank. No such comparison is possible, and certainly not meaningful. What Stryker does provide is enhanced mobility, enhanced firepower, enhanced optics for surveillance, enhanced command and control; along with limited protection from artillery, small arms, and with add-on armor (being fitted to those Strykers being deployed to Iraq), protection from RPG's.
The Stryker is not replacing the M-1, nor the M-2. Like any weapons system, it must be employed in accordance with its capabilities and limitations. Mr Lind, who has never heard a shot fired in anger, would be unlikely to understand such subtleties.
And that, I believe, is his greatest fear.
