I saw that! It was a 500 lbder? Geeze... Do you have a link to an
article of some sort? I only saw the video clip shot by the insurgents
who planed the thing. Or am I thinking of a different IED incident with
a Stryker?
Guess that's another nail in the anti-Stryker argument. So far the
prewar hoopla against Stryker has largely been proven to be... hoopla.
Of course that doesn't mean Styker is a silver bullet, just not the
complete failure the treadheads (and Gavin beneficiaries) tried so hard
to paint it as.
Thanks,
Steve
