Pentagon Wars, a movie centering around the troubled development of the M2 / M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle, is fairly popular in the Armored Fighting Vehicle community. In reading the book written by Colonel James Burton, I think that people should take both the movie and his memoir with a pile of salt. Burton belongs to a think tank group called the “Reformers“, which to be quite frank is a lot of people making outdated and misinformed ideas / claims. Burton’s recollection of the Bradley program is incorrect and further distorted by the movie.
