Few ideas. Remember there are far more former Soldiers out there than active. A very long time ago I had that feeling of indistructability but that faded after 35 years of free trips by Uncle Sam.

No doubt. But if (God forbid) it ever does become a shooting war, I'm not fing around with anything that looks like a stryker. Time to pop smoke.

Nope, and google was not much help. Strykers are not built for the front lines of conventional war....

Paratroopers the original throw away defence, (DIP) Die in place. You drop troopers in they are anti armor orientated , they fight for 72 hours then if not resupplied and reenforced they fold and turn into a crap load of LGOP's Little Groups of Paratroopers with orders to shoot anyone no dressed like them.
Strykers are much better that Bradley's or 113's but anything that prevents you from having full SA can be more a problem in certain situations.

The keys to the vehicles are prolly locked up someplace secure, but the vehicles... not so much

Military vehicle don't have "keys" they have military bases around them to keep jokers away and punishment severe enough to prevent Joe from stealing one.
