I was a tank commander on an M48A3 Patton tank in Vietnam. It was an excellent tank combining the very good aspects of mobility, firepower and armor protection. Maintenence was fairly simple and the whole power pack (engine and trans) could be swapped out in an hour or so.
Three seperate tank models, the M-46, M-47, and M48 were designated Patton tanks. The M-48 series Patton was the most refined and up to date.
Thanks for your service. Will you be going to Fury.

I hate supporting Hollywood but the WW2 stuff they still show some respect. I can’t wait for the Eastwood movie I know he is respectful.
