Bradley Fighting Vehicle Puns

And my title sounds like I'm the one doing the retrospective, but I'm most definitely not. I'm asking for people here to do the retrospective, preferably those with either deep knowledge or some kind of first hand experience using them.

This is the basis for the discussion.

And its easy to intuitively understand why the Bradley was so controversial.

So here's what I want to know.

#1 Can we know if the Bradley is a lemon (has it seen combat where it had a decent probability of being hit with something intended to take out a tank, are numbers available etc).

#2 If we can know if the Bradley is a lemon, is the Bradley a lemon?

#3 If the Bradley is not a lemon, would the advantages of the Bradley as pictured at the start of the video linked above outweigh the costs - the original version seems to be a hell of a lot cheaper.

#4 Was it worth the money? 5.6 billion, 3.2 mil per.

#5 Is it a Troop transport? What I mean by this is... do we actually ferry a large percentage of our troops in Bradleys, or do we use something else (Humvees, Trucks) that leaves our people more exposed.

#6 What was actually done following the controversy surrounding the Bradley to mitigate its perceived flaws? Were they mitigated, or did we just say fuck it and run with it?

I've had people tell me that the Pentagon Wars is a comedy not to be taken seriously... but I know its based on a book and as I said the claims made in it seem intuitive and obvious. The Bradley looks like a light tank - not a troop carrier.

I'm fairly jaded when it comes to military procurement, and I think that the Bradley is an interesting case because its got a deep rich history that came after significant controversy. Did it hold up? Did it get tested to the point where we'd know? Should it have been a much simpler design?

I'd have posted this in r/credibledefense but I think the mods there would balk, I'm guessing both subs have mostly the same userbase anyway though.

Note the M2 Bradley IFV is the current model we have in-game, and the WRONG MODEL, the M3 CFV does not have the Gun Pods on the side of the tank that the M2 has for the infantry to fire out of, and is missing 2 scouts as crew.
