The Stryker, the Army's new armored wheeled vehicle...in Iraq less than a month, takes a tumble.
No sign yet it is the vehicle's fault...but that probably won't stop the critics.
Three soldiers from Fort Lewis's 5,000-member Stryker brigade combat team, a prototype infantry unit deployed to Iraq last month, were killed and a fourth was injured in an accident during a combat patrol yesterday, a Stryker brigade spokesman confirmed from Iraq last night...
The accident occurred last night ... when the new Stryker infantry-carrier vehicles were traveling on a rural road and an embankment collapsed. Both vehicles rolled over into a canal, Piek said. The exact cause remains under investigation.
