Review: M2 Bradley

In 1972 the US Army requested design proposal to meet a requirement for a mechanized infantry fighting vehicle. A complex series of design submissions and changing specifications followed until a Fighting Vehicle System appeared, comprising two vehicles, an IFV which became M2 Bradley and a Cavalry Fighting Vehicle which became the M3 (which is basically an armored reconnaissance vehicle). Deliveries commenced in 1981 and have continued since with totals approaching over 4 600 vehicles. Some 400 M2 IFV's have been exported to Saudi Arabia.

Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam spam spam!

Edit: Seriously, every post you've made on here has been a short excerpt from an article and a link to a website. I can't remember what the board rules are about pimping other websites, but it's getting thoroughly irritating.

Who are you calling noob, Noob?

He has an excellent point. So far 24 out of your 25 posts have been little more than advertisting for military-today.com

Thanks for the articles but are you planning on being an active participant here or merely a bot that just happens to breathe oxygen?

Oh ban him regardless. Even if he's not spamming he's rude and showing poor judgement. Off with his web-head!

I thought he's just trying to improve his website on the information posted. Since we have a lot of hardware enthusiasts here, he's picking our brains and asking for corrections. Hence the "review" part in his titles.

At least that's what I thought.

That's very generous of you, but nothing tastes more like spam than....well, spam.

Then there's his reaction to pdf27. The best that could said is, at least it proved he wasn't a bot
