The important thing with Pentagon Wars is that the detractors couldn't tell the difference between AFV and IFV. It is like comparing a minivan or pickup truck and complaining that the truck has bed (with machine gun) and carries less people when that is the whole point. IFV made AFVs obsolete and the US needed to build the Bradley to compete with Soviet ones. Or testing the Bradley against anti-tank weapons when it was never designed to survive them cause it is not a tank. And most tanks can't survive them. The other funny error in Pentagon Wars is complaining about the $12 billion price tag. When the Bradley program cost $6 billion and was underbudget.
