Uhh... Up to a platoon of Abrams are deployed with MEUs... two MEUs are the units landing. >>
Yeah, but so far they have only been choppered in (according to the article), and I dont think any chopper in the USA inventory is capable of lifting a M1xx Abrams. Besides, my points stand... the LAVs are better than the armed pickups that bin Laden has, and M1's arent deployed in an amphib. assault. The are deployed afterward, for the push inland.
