M1 Abrams in recent conflicts

It sounds like the discussion is suggesting that the M1 is problematic because some get damaged or destroyed. Never thought they were supposed to be a 'silver bullet'. Perhaps it's important to note that 'most' US weapons platforms are designed to work within US doctrine - which includes eliminating the war fighting capacity of the enemy. JSTARS, Helicopters, artillery, C2, etc. seem integral to force projection. Not knocking the M1 just considering that the US Army doesn't send M1's out by themselves. If anything, the M1 and other platforms are probably going to be more survivable with the advent of APS.
