Agree. The party line is that the M1 tank is staying around until we are able to develop a future combat vehicle that is truly as survivable as the M1, yet uses new technology to make it lighter and less logistically taxing. The Army would like that FCS by 2010, but many of us have our doubts if the technology will be there by then.

Remember, I am an old cav trooper and tanker...and I love the M1.

I'm with you, brother. If you've every seen a T-72 smoked by a U.S. KE round, you'll get down on your knees and thank God for compartmented ammunition storage.

I reread my post and it sounds alittle too confrontational. My intention was to debate the merits of the stryker. Not for a crunchie to insult a treadhead. Under most conditions I have learned thats a bad idea.
It was my understanding that most tank crews didnt like the stryker. The ones assigned to our unit felt the stryker was to vulnerable.
