  1. How much would it suck if that thing got stuck in the muck? My grandfather told me when they were in Korea if a tank got too stuck they would make it inoperable and leave it.Is that still the case?

  2. I never understood why they did not use something like brown as the default color. I doubt brown paint is that much more expensive, if any, and it works in deserts better than green and it works quite well in forested areas, and importantly it can be used as part of camouflage scheme for both. Even in winter you got brown here and there, at least after artillery has bombarded area a bit.

    So if war ends up happening in desert, send them tan paint and mix it with default brown. If war ends up happening in more green areas, send them green paint and mix it with default brown. Etc etc.

    And ofc if you get badly surprised, you don’t end up with sand colored tanks in forests of eastern Europe.

    Now ofc it makes sense why they don’t bother re-painting them all the time. You would for a war, but not that important during an exercise, so they save money because they can.

  3. My dad was in the guard when I was a kid and he had access to a lot of cool shit I was able to get rides around in Abrams growing up as a kid pretty cool picture OP. For those that don’t know tanks are push to start .
