I remeber this baby from the 82d Abn Div. Twice our unit went down to th edge of post where the Div Parade field was located, across the road headed to McKellar’s Lodge. We as infantrymen were taught to make movacocktails from readily available products to fight tanks. After we took turns targeting tanks (hold burnt out hulk), the real fun began. They would make us go down in a foxhole while the the M551 did a 360 degree spin over us. Nothing like having a tanks roll over you, and then spin. The point of the close quarters drills were to get up close to the tank so you could engulf it in flames.

Yep. Or build it cheap and just have it explode.

That’s light?
2035, good thing we aren’t in a hurry or anything like that.
Looks like an easy target. Not a lot of angles.

Well, I’ll consider it, but I am so busy with my ministries right now. I pop into FR from time to time, sometimes comment other times just to get caught up on the news.
If I get a hankering I’ll write some and tag you

Looks like the perfect AFV for our 'woke' military: satisfies all sorts of theoretical requirements, and most likely costs a fortune, but probably won't last 24 hours in actual combat...

Yep. Or build it cheap and just have it explode. Robotic suicide bomber. Have it quietly lurking off to the side, waiting for an enemy.
