Time to end the controversy over the Stryker

Article Abstract:

The interminable controversy over the characteristics and performance of the Stryker medium armor vehicle needs to be ended, as it is meeting the U.S. Army's requirements and its mobility has proven as an enormous asset in the complex and tactical environment in Iraq. Current concerns about the Stryker fall into two main areas, the vehicle's transportability and its operational effectiveness.
