" You're correct, and anyone who's seen it (or done it) will agree. "Fully amphibious" is how the Bradley is advertised; the reality is a bit different!"

You know, going out the back of the ship really got my adrenaline pumping in P7 Amtracs which really are fully amphibious. But I'll tell ya' I'd have been petrified to do it in a Bradley!

If Bradley's are capable of crossing rivers then that's a Good Thing but going in over the beach makes one picture the Duplex drive Shermans on D-Day.

The Bradley's swim capabilities were designed for rivers -- and waves can't be very large either, or it will get swamped.

Not any more. After the last round of MWOs, the Bradleys had their splashboards removed [I forget the term they use for the splashboard, but it's still the spoiler that keeps the bow wave from coming over the top of the vehicle and driving the noose under] and turned into DRMO for disposal.
