Next, care to talk about Jenin 2002, Baghdad April 2003, Fallujah November 2004? Armored forces can operate extremely well in an urban environment, even without dismounted forces in close proximity, when you don't have an AT missile threat.

Yes I am "off track"LOL, But the Stryker is designed for Armored mobile warfare. Yes they are infantry by design ,but they inherit the flaws of armored troops in an urban environment. This is proved true on a daily basis. Sorry, you are missing the BIG picture my friend. Baghdad and Falluujah are still unsafe,except for the basketball courts in the troop bases. As for armored forrays the 16th panzer and the 3rd Inf (mot) proved that YOU can get in there(urban areas),but try to get out,successfully...
Nobody in control seems to have learned from history...
