Yes. Unlike the above author, I don't want to scrap 3,000 M1's. I want to upgrade them into urban assault vehicles complete with the A-10's 30mm gattling cannon (and 4 half-tracks instead of 2 treads)!
5 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires
We already have an urban assault vehicle: it's called the Fuel/Air explosive. Instead of fighting it out in crowded urban enviornments, why not just flatten them instead? We have already learned, countless times, in France, Stalingrad, Germany, Mogadishu, Vietnam, etc., that fighting man-to-man in a town or city is going to be costly in terms of casualties and of course, in the inevitable clean up when we rebuild. However, rather than expose our limited supply of infantry-persons (how's that for PC) to such murderous conditions, and spending a shitload of money for a new vehicle that will be little more than a Bradley with some Star Wars-type weaponry, why not go barbarian?
It sounds terrible, but hey, war is hell, ain't it?
Why not have 3 different types of M1's?? Why do they have to be identical?
