Hi guys, under the gun trucks in Iraq post there is a web site referred by Cardinal. The content of the article and who wrote it aside I was looking on the opening page and saw several photos of destroyed vehicles. One of them looks like a Stryker and it is burned out. Anybody else see that picture and think the same thing? I Hope the crew made it out okay.

Kencelot, thank you for pointing out the article. Between this vehicle and the other two going into a canal with loss of life how tragic. My condolences to the families.
