One thing further that I don't think has been mentioned.
The US Army is buying the Stryker family of vehicles as an interim vehicle in its' interim Brigades.
Its there to fill the hole until their future combat vehicle is deliverable.
While we look on the LAV III and the MGS as the end-all and be-all for the future of our Army, the Americans see it as a stepping stone. It is far from perfect, as is the concept of an all-wheeled Brigade based on it. Perhaps the future vehicle will have its own version of the MGS, but it will be purpose built, not a cobbled together piece of cr*p that the MGS is.
