I've been stuck up to my axles in Fort Drum sand.
Wheels, despite anything Shinseki said, are not more maneuverable.

Maybe he means they are more maneuverable on paved surfaces and cause less road damage and get better mileage?
I think the Stryker has its place, but not as a replacement for the Abrams and the Bradley. I am reminded of some professors in collage who would only recognize one theory of social interaction. Only B.F.Skinner had it right, or only Radcliffe-Brown or some other well published and recognized expert had it right. There was no room for a mix of ideas, no room for compromise. It seems to be the same with the Stryker. It has to be all or nothing, no room for a mix.
