Strykers stuck in Iraqi mud for entire day: cannot patrol!
Video Info
Description:
How fitting! Manure-talkers get stuck in Iraqi manure!
In this pathetic video, 3 Canadian-made, high-ground pressure wheeled Stryker trucks each costing $4 MILLION DOLLARS EACH (that should be said with a Canadian Mike Myers Dr. Evil voice impersonation) are stuck for an entire day in Iraq and cannot patrol....
WHY?
Because one of them is STUCK, and TWO of them are sent to try to WINCH it out!!
Dr. Evil: "Throw me a frickin bone here! Can I have some frickin troops with armored mobility here or what?"
#2: "Ehh, sorry, Dr. Evil. The Army can't see brass have out-lawed cross-country mobility in low-ground pressure tracks; it tears up the posts and pisses off the base eco-nazis...but we do have STRYKER trucks...."
Dr. Evil: "Are they ill-tempered Stryker trucks????"
#2: "Very much so; they constantly get stuck, break-down, get blown up on roads by ever increasingly sized land mines....and they cost the taxpayers a fortune to maintain using high-priced GDLS civilian old farts...each tire costs over $1, 000 and is not used by any other truck in the Army!!...watch this video, I think you'll like it, Sir:"

Dr. Evil smiles in perverse delight.
Dr. Evil: "DELICIOUS.
I LIKE STRYKERS.....HOW...
HOW DO I SAY???
EVIL!!!"
Everyone laughs heartily...
Frau Farbissina: "BRING IN THE WINCH FOR SELF-RECOVERY!!"
Scott: "Dude! Its too stuck! Self-Recovery is a lie! I learned this myself in brigade! I hate you!"
Dr. Evil: "Scott...I'm your evil father...what is an evil father to do? but make massive amounts of money for his evil bureaucracy and send young gullible types like you to their deaths?"
Scott storms out.
Dr. Evil: "Did I say something wrong?"
*******
The sad news is that this isn't an "Austin Powers: the Spy who Strykered Me" sequel: its the tax-payer funded wheeled truck follies in Iraq....

The Stryker truck is still operating under a safety of use message because the suspension is unsafe. Yet, the Army Program Managers and TACOM are doing nothing about it.
