There's just one small problem with this approach: A Bradley is much too

big and heavy to carry in a C-130 (another ten tons or so compared to
the 
LAV family vehicles), so the resulting vehicle family wouldn't be of any

use for the US's "rapid-deployment" medium brigades since they're
supposed 
to be C-130-deployable :-/
