Stryker is not going
to replace the Bradley, but it sure does provide a better solution than
the
HMMWV's with applique armor in terms of giving early entry and stability
support forces better protection.

Ahh, that's so sad. Maybe in the future we should buy German Puma IFVs
instead:

LOL! Yeah, at 43 freakin' tons the Puma is a *real* competitor against the
LAV...not. And how many Pumas are in service? None... And how many have been
manufactured? None, again? Sounds like it is a sure fit for the modern
German military...a non-existant vehicle for a force that won't be used.
