M113A3 Birdcage in Iraq (ICONS)

Actually, I'd feel safer saying that with the RPG screens they're now about as safe. Neither the Stryker nor the M113 are particularly heavy in the armor department, and neither were designed to be. The Stryker is also far less likely to suffer the kind of mobility kills due to IEDs that an M113 would be. A thrown track stops an M113, 3 destroyed wheels doesn't stop a Stryker. Each vehicle has its pros and cons, but there is little evidence from the field to support what appears to be a "war on the Stryker" at home.
