The problem is that some bad guys in "urban areas" have been known to have RPG's and ATGM's. Tanks were "suitable" in Baghdad. And has been pointed out in detail, we had our lunch eaten in Mog when we had no M-1's or Bradleys. So where is this "suitable" area for deployment? Liberia?
Hey, I just repeated what the article said. I don't agree with it much either. Yes, a wheeled vehicle will get good gas milage along urban streets, but will not do as well when people pile up barricades and such, and there are lots of places for RPG-ists to hide and fire from.
