Bradley Debacle, Ch.13: Fun Facts P.1/5

The REAL Bradley "Fighting" Vehicle! Chapter 13: Fun Bradley Facts! (Part 1 of 5)

Within this presentation are 10 fun --- but little known --- facts about the Bradley "Fighting" Vehicle. This is the first of a 5-part presentation on 50 such obscure revelations.

It kind of goes without saying, but this is information you're unlikely to find in any of the official histories of the Bradley, and there's a reason for that; those who profited from it don't want you to know these things.

Nevertheless, all of it is stuff you should know, especially if your tax money was wasted on this disaster.
