We can all dream but, I don't think the CORPS has any plans for that in a true IFV concept from what I've been posting. Still in the "beachhead mode of thinking" I guess but, I do agree with you on that 100% the CORPS needs it.
To the ATA1/ATA2 I thought Don and I got those in a couple of years ago (Or last year?) when he initiated things concerning the USA KEM Program. You know I do my PITA best to support the CORPS (And it kills me at times!?!
) but, did I miss something here? No answer required as I've given mine to you already but, did I miss something here!?!
That's why I get along with them so well on the base-because I like them (You to just you're a little wiser than they are!?!). Now would be a good time go
"SHALLOW-SHALLOW-GOING-DEEP-DEEP-OVER." 
Program Alert: If you can watch or get to PBS.org FRONTLINE is doing a story called "Putin's Way" @10pm EST. Wouldn't do this normally as you know but they are really good at those type of stories and it might provide some insights to the man.
Gotta Rig for Deep Submergence!!
