The M-8 should COMPLEMENT the M-1 for airborne units, and hold the area until C-17s can bring REAL armor in.

My apologies for not being cleared. Why have tank destroyers when you can have real tanks? Capt Seft's assertion is that the Leo C1 is of equivlent weight and size to the Centauro and yet, it beats that AGS. Why develop the M-8 when you still have M-60s around (those can fit into a C-130 albeit with the same permission slips from the AF for the Stryker).
