Aloha everyone!!

Yes yet another Stryker question. I think I've completely checked my previous postings but I apologize if these questions are redundant.
Does anyone have any pics of a Stryker in the Nato 3 tone scheme? Does it even exist? And secondly does anyone know if the US is actively "shopping" the Stryker (not LAV-III's) to any other foreign countries? I read in a Concord book that it is projected that the new Iraqi army might be made up of a mix of M1-A2's/ M-60A3's and LAVs. LAVS?! Wondering if they meant Strykers.......

Thank you in advance!!

Nope....... No Sand.... No Camo...... Just the Green............... Don;t think they're "selling" it yet....

LAV's....... yep... why not get use the older Surplus stuff... rather than give out the latest & greatest in technology..... the Lav's are more than sufficent to do the job.

Aloha everyone!!

Wow! With all due respect Gary-don't kill the messenger. I merely read it in an article in one of the Concord publications. While I agree full hearted with you that it would seem outlandish that the Iraqi army would receive M1A2's it is Concords authors that you should vent to.
