OOE, I wasn't suggesting that the M-8 should replace real armor at all. I'm just saying that if you want some form of C-130 deployable vehicle to keep enemy armor from rolling over you with impunity, the M-8 seems to be the best available option. The M-8 should COMPLEMENT the M-1 for airborne units, and hold the area until C-17s can bring REAL armor in.
