Iraq conflict raises doubts on FCS survivability

Iraq conflict raises doubts on FCS survivability:

The army's official line is that the network will give FCS-equipped units such a good understanding of the enemy's positions that they will be able to evade threats rather than needing thick armour to withstand hits. However, critics argue that danger can never completely be avoided and that soldiers could be unprotected in such lightly armoured vehicles. This view has gained currency after higher-than-expected casualties from IEDs and RPG attacks in Iraq.

They (the Army) really belive this too. They think that a computer system will protect their soldiers. It is my experience that armor protects soldiers. Imagine depending on Windows to protect your fast moving troops. Better hope you don't loose your connection to the network...
