Why not both?

A quick Pentagon Wars summary is probably good too. For the whole deal Lazerpig's video on Burton is actually pretty good for that. Or go read Hunnicutt's books.

The Reformers and their friends consider the Bradley both mechanically and doctrinally flawed. If you press them they seem to not actually like the AFV concept (heavily armed, originally with actual firing ports/fighting positions that seems to have not been a good idea for even the Soviets), and want Battle Taxis (armored box that just gets you to the battlefield) like the 113 was. They also have concerns about survivability (supposed propensity to catch fire which may have been due to Burton's goofy testing), size (both for mobility and concealment) cost and many other things. Oh and they feel since it has anti-tank weapons it's dumb that it can't take a hit from a MBT.

The combat experience of the Bradley has not at all supported their conclusions. The 'overgunned' Bradley supplies decent fire support, the TOWs on it are useful against Surprise Tank, and it's anything but a death trap. They got it wrong enough they added an end card to the movie version of Pentagon Wars stating that it turned out okay because Burton led a redesign of it. (No, he didn't.)

Nick Moran has a nice video that's too professional by half, as he usually is. He's too polite to say it's a take down of why what Burton presented as bureaucratic madness by egotistical generals was actually a standard development cycle ran by highly competent review boards that produced a good vehicle.. But that's what it is.
 
Nick Moran on one forum have had online run ins with "Sparky" since the late 90ies that I know of. For Nick and others have been tard wrangling the "Sparky" followers within the U.S. military and out. To stop them from changing the M113 designation to M113 Gavin and its history to Mike Spark's version in museums, installations, publications and etc. And have them to revert back to M113 real designation and history where it had been changed.
 
The one bright side of ww3 coming along at break neck speed are people like this who could totally pull a overnight win if they were in charge.

It's dunning Kruger with explosives. I love it.

I swear to God I ever run into this fuckin' Paddy IRL I'm gonna corner him and get him drunk enough to tell all these stories he's too professional to do on youtube. Which forum?
 
Sparks has weighed in on the complicated issue of ancestral rights to the Holy Land.

I don't think that conversation with Burton is happening.

Is he going to tie them to the Annunaki somehow?

If he's going the standard route, he'd be claiming they're Nephalim based on the old error that Goliath was 9 foot tall.

But fun historical sperging about the David and Goliath story, the Philistines were originally Aegean Greeks. So you can stretch it a bit and take the Philistines sending out a 6'7" monster to challenge the Hebrew champion as a result of the oral traditions of the Trojan war. Also (future) King David's first bit of wisdom was 'Train how you fight', which is pretty cool.
