A full bull Israeli colonel at Fort Hood was telling me all about their Merkava tanks as we were still testing the X-M1 and their accompanying APCs, circa 1979.

The Israelis are really sharp.

They never throw away any weapon. I’ll bet they still have David’s sling in an armory somewhere.

We turned a lot of our tanks into reefs.

Have you seen some of the vehicles they have built on the chassis of an old tank?

Amazing.

They adapt much quicker than we do.

I suppose they have to.
