My screen name “Outrance” - to the utmost- The motto of the 112th Field Artillery Regiment.
During the Cold War we trained to standard and stood on America’s wall toe to toe, and eyeball to eyeball with “Ivan”.
“Ivan” blinked.
We never fired a shot in anger but we were the big nasty dog on the other side of the wall that kept the barbarians at bay.
Saint Barbara watch over us!!!

As to the difference between howitzers and tanks.
Tankers say, “Why walk when you can ride?”
Redlegs say, “Why ride when you can hide?”
