A Gun of Their Own


The Stryker is an infantry platform and there's a Combat Brigade of them semi-locally at Fort Lewis. Usually, they have grenade launchers or chain guns of some sort, but a new version has a 105mm gun. Since the aftermath of WWII, big guns have been controlled by artillery or armored brigades. A gun this big that is controlled by the infantry is a throw-back.

I like it.
