The article doesn’t say Personnel carrier, it says tank. The only Tank I know the Germans have is the Leopard. If you would have read my comment you would have grasped that. I am an old tanker who knows the difference between an APC and a tank. Thanks for being extremely condescending, I can always use the frickin’ ridicule.

If it's a short term memory problem, here's what you wrote:
"Ok, we need a picture of a Marder tank. How do they differ from the Leopard? Just an old tanker asking:)"
Suggestion: Don’t assume the person asking has knowledge the poster didn’t mention. The comment I referenced called the Marder a “tank”. Because they called it a tank I assumed it was a “tank”. I had no way of knowing it was an APC. Just because you are a total idiot don’t assume everyone else is!

That is not what was mentioned in the original post. Tank was the word used. Quit trying to justify your BS remarks.
Rechambered to fire 7.62x51 ammo.
well first did i say that the marder is a tank? i guess not. if you would have read my posts you would have realized that i said that reporters (who usually know jack shit about anything called it this way) i was only interested how you would call a bradley. because a marder is not called a APC here in germany or Austria. its called a SPZ (and we have APCs but a marder is not called a APC here)
Get off the alcohol, get on the meds, and see if you can be rational in the morning.
Heavy, it will wear you. Not a big fan of the pull either but its a sweet shooter for sure.
and btw. i “was” the gunner behind “my” 12.7 (cal .50) in an APC so i just wanted to know how you call a bradley?
classic picture. (but the “modern” marder has nothing to do with this old tank) and it is now beeing replaced by the Puma because this platform (marder) is too old now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3bG3x0Jwbs&feature=related
Thanks for the picture. There were actually several body styles for the Marder III, the common elements being the T38 bottom and the big gun on top.
Looks like someone was having a bad day, and lashing out at any and everybody. Hope he gets the help that he needs.
When I was in Iraq..You basically had to be in a level 3 coma BEFORE you could shoot back....Numerous times we called in “SHOTS FIRED” and the response was “Negative...observe the Situation”..
And getting shot at from a mosque....forget about it! You might as well nail your weapon to a wall cause you “aint shootin back!”
The Germans are using WW2 era tank destroyers?
I don’t care what the German soldiers use. I just want them to kill the Taliban bastards.
No. Some here are talking about the WW2 Marder... while they today of course use a new AFV also named “Marder” (seen on page one).
are you aware that the Jews made it possible for you to be posting on the net with your computer?
