"tires are more manueverable". - Until you run through a burning obstacle. Then they have a nasty tendency to warp, melt and upon occasion explode.

Shinseki has based his legacy upon an inefficient, failed piece of equipment. The IBCT is a necessary, well-designed force. It's the Stryker that needs replacing.

If I remember rightly, the original design for the Stryker was supposed to have beefier armor and tracks.
Shinseki pointed to one or two instances of tanks getting stuck in wadis in Iraq during Desert Storm and said, "Tires are better."

And as you pointed out, and I mentioned, tires get stuck on the darndest things.
And as anyone who has drilled at Drum knows, nothing gets stuck like tires in sand.
The only positive side to me being out of the military is that I do not have to deal with Shinseki anymore!
Thanks for the article, it's more proof of Clintonistas in high ranking positions.
