William S. Lind pontificates from time to time on matters military, but has zero experience with same. Graduate magna cum laude from any eltie eastern university and you are thereby entitled to forever put forward your opinion as necessary government policy. God save us from men such as this.

roger that. His points are valid. However he, and a great many others, are overlooking the fact that the Stryker is capable of putting boots on the streets in a fairly rapid and protected manner.

If they quickly place a platoon or 2 in a contested area and loiter on the perimeter, maybe even provide a little cover fire, then they are viable for urban warfare. I am not discounting the RPG factor. But speed of ingress is a major factor in urban conflicts.

When I was in the "biz" we called these guys chickenhawks. I have had to endure many a lecture from guys whose only service connected injury was to break a nail, while working for DoD, while signing their latest opus.
