Seriously, the Stryker (idiot spelling)

The Stryker Armoured Vehicle is named after two US Medal of Honor
recipients
(one WW2, one Vietnam), as widely reported at the time.

Nowt stupid about that spelling, I think.

Ay, mebbe so, but do they have an Ed Stryker to command 'em?
(shades of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson...)

Thank god they didn't name it after Ted Stryker.

"The cockpit, what is it?"

"it's the little room up the front where the pilots sit, but thats not
important right now..."
