Read with caution and a very high degree of scepticism. Mike Sparks and Carlton Meyer, the brains behind both URL links are well known malcontents, both with big axes to grind. What exactly is Mike Sparks selling? - aside from the obvious - lots of M113A3s. Carlton Meyer's view of a perfect world has everyone wearing Marine Corps uniforms (He does win this argument on grounds of looks).

The argument over wheeled vs. tracked vehicles is legitimate and long standing. Like most arguments, there are pros and cons on both sides. One of the big disadvantages of light armored vehicles is that you must accept lots of compromises - very competent people come to differing conclusions over which sets of compromises are the best. But, I would find better sources than these two wingnuts.
