No matter how much armor one has, you still need to stick your head out of the vehicle and look around.Exactly what never thrilled me about being a possible Bradley Commander and what currently does not thrill me about being a Stryker Commander.
Thanks for the first-hand insights. The closest I've come to being in combat with Bradleys was at Ft. Pickett being chased by OPFOR M-1s. It surprises me that they're so survivable against RPGs. What version of M2 were you on?

M2A2 w/ODS. I saw no other type of Bradley in Iraq, though I would assume that 4th ID has their M2A3 Bradleys rolling around Tikrit.
