Yeah, well that is one of the things that US Army let slide by the way side. With an emphasis on Heavy Forces and very little money spent on Light and Medium forces until after the fact, even after having twenty years to come up something... *shrug*
It can't be fun bing a light unit being sent to a UN Peacekeeping Mission knowing that many of the other units you will be working with would be better equipped than you.

Remember the design requirements for a tank:
1) It must be capable of taking out an enemy tank with one shot.
2) It must be able to withstand enemy antitank fire.
3) It must be able to be transported by a C-130.
Pick two.
