    Back in the day (1990s Army) the MGS was a system needed by light infantry to help breach walls and sometimes (last resort) protect against armor until actual tanks can reinforce. We have a tendency to over estimate the combat power of the Stryker (just ask my students) and place them in situations where they will get smoked by tanks.
    We had something like that once...what was it....? Some type of Vehicle that fights for the infantry ..... Almost like an infantry fighting vehicle....what could it be?

    LOL. True. I was referring specifically to the MGS system with the 105mm on it. It was ideal for airborne forces.

    What?! I love the Bradley and it's 25 OG style, or should I say ODS style..... But I'm a bit biased as well. I'd take a brad over that POS Stryker any day. Dumbest thing ever: switching the only ACR over to a fucking Stryker "regiment." Stryker should be good enough for airborne and that's about it.

    Pretty sure they "fixed" the problems with the MGS, but it's still a Stryker with a tank cannon on it. A T-72 would eat that thing for lunch, freeze the rest, and have that as a late night snack.
