If you want to fight a counterinsurgency get a Stryker. If you want to die a horrible firey death get a M113.
But it's only American lives being put to waste ... so you don't care, right ?
Just about any wheeled armored vehicle in service with the armies of this world can run circles around the Stryker. They're air-deployable, air-droppable and amphibious. Only the Americans are dumb enough to replace a superior system with a grossly inferior one - i.e. the Gavin with the Stryker.
And guess what ? Nobody wants to buy the Stryker ! Nobody ! Not a single fucking country wants this piece of shit !
The Gavin on the other hand still IS - not only WAS - a worldwide success, with new variants being developped as we're writing.
Did you really watch the videos I posted above ? How come you're still in denial ? Cause the Stryker looks so impressively cool, tough and aggressive to a man who knows nothing about warfare ?
But maybe you're not that dumb after all and just get paid for propagating the Stryker ?!
At any rate, I rest my case: You can lead the donkey to the water, but you can't make him drink.
