Air-Mech-Strike: 3D Maneuver Warfare
The free nations of the western world MUST have effective militaries; this requires Land Power that can actually control ground, governments and peoples; finishing human conflicts with decisive MANEUVER not fantasies of easy push-button, stand-off firepower directed from out-of-touch command posts and impotent rubber-tired armored cars.

LAV Danger
The U.S. Army's self-destructive urge to waste billions of tax dollars on Canadian-made road-bound, 1/2 inch thin skin rubber-tired 19-21 ton Lav3Stryker trucks must be reversed so America has a land army capable of decisive strategic MANEUVER. America's Army must face facts and upgrade some of its 14,000+ lighter, far more x-country mobile, armor protected and firepower capable tracked 11-ton M113 Gavins to attain a truly air and sea mobile 3D maneuver CAVALRY force to dominate future asymmetric combats.

The Stryker Armored Car is a Scam
A persistent reporter and critic of the lav3stryker truck fiasco is Don Loughlin. Don is a retired ordnance engineer and is also a former Marine tanker. His detailed and blunt criticisms have not been publicly refuted by any Department of the Army, DARPA or DOD official. He used the Army's own data and sources to critique the Army leadership's false justifications for the Stryker program. He cites his most important documents in his report.

Light Armor For Full-Spectrum Operations
Stan Crist visually describes the virtues of tracked armored fighting vehicles in contrast to rubber-tired armored cars in the following presentation.

Let's Ask The Questions And Then Go Where The Answers Are
From an annonymous high-level Army Official

"I have been forced to be silent for far too long about the Army's ill-fated choice of the Stryker vehicle for its Interim Force. However, because of my close association with the program and my position, I must remain anonymous. I would only ask that you read this letter and the piece accompanying it, which is fully supported with the Army's own documentation........"
