Canadian Army cancelled the order due to delivery times. Ask Canadians in Afghanistan. Borrowed tanks are 140 degrees inside - no air conditioning. Enemy has escalated the violence only because they now have to knock out much larger tanks (Super-beasts they call them) and LAVs' taking a beating hitting IED's meant for Leopards. Straight from a soldier's mouth.

And how far do you get with one track?

You can find training manuals of military equipment online, describing in detail the weapons' weakenesses. After 9-11. How dumb is that? Like engineers stating the World Trade Center was designed to withstand the impact of an aircraft up to and including such-and-such a size after the attempted bombing in 1991. Typical. Brag about how good your design is, and someone will match it. Every time you build something idiot-proof, they build a better idiot.

Talk to guys who have used these vehicles, hit an IED, and survived. That's the only opinions that counts. How far away can you hear a tracked vehicle coming? We've heard of one "non-battle" when an LAV crew stumbled upon a group of insurgents in the middle of the night. They were armed to the teeth and just about to go out and raise hell. They were surrounded and surrendered without a single shot fired. The insurgents were spooked; they said only ghosts are that quiet.

Part three has Rocket In My Pocket. Lindley plays slide.
