And what do you propose that I am preaching?

To the contrary, you came in talking against armored forces in the urban environment, which by implication is part and parcel with your vision of the strategy. This conflation is part of the specious reasoning that you've demonstrated thus far.

More specious reasoning, as you apparently conflate the vehicle with strategy, again. Vehicles are tools, not strategy. Now, they can lead to improper strategy (if you've got a hammer, the problem begins to look like a nail), but that isn't the causal issue here with OIF. It stems deeper in the way that officers were educated post-Vietnam. The system that set us up for success in Desert Storm has had the opposite result in OIF.
