The above link is to "You Tube." It has multiple loops regarding the interactions between Abrams tanks and the methods to destroy them in battle. In the Russian loop there are battles between tank on tank. In Iraq the rebels don't have tanks. All they have are home made explosives. There have never been air strikes of American forces by Iraq rebels or al Qaeda for that matter. There are no sophisticated methods of war in Iraq. All the measures against the USA are hand held and crude.
There are also entries if one searches the web for similar footage regarding Stryker vehicles.
The point is the USA is so very, very "W"rong about the invasion in the first place that there is no sympathy for the USA position in Iraq. The war in Iraq is no different than that of Vietnam. The soldiers and the mission are unimportant to the Washington Republicans. The money it generates is. The soldiers are simply 'icons' to the military spending to connect 'sacrifice' and 'patriotism' as Americans have to sign the checks.
