The truth of the matter is that the US-designed and built M113 APC and its bastardized versions, like the Dutch YPR-765 AFV, is a poor piece of military equipment even by the lowly standards of the US military-industrial complex, suitable for nothing more serious than colonial warfare against under-armed opponents and terrorizing civilian populations.
In WW2 the US had the worst tanks and armored vehicles of all the warring nations and the capitalist-run US military-industrial complex continues to live up to its tradition by producing, and dumping (aka force-selling) on its satellites and proxies, overpriced junk like the under-powered, under-protected and under-armed aluminum crapcan / coffin that the US M113 is.
