I thought Klinton made fishing reefs out of these?
RPG magnets in any event.

The M113 APC, its been around forever. I trained on it in 1971 at Armored Recon school at Ft Knox. It had a 318 Detroit Diesel and you steered it with two levers, pulling back the one on the side you wanted to turn, locking that track. It had a 50 cal on top and was a ball to drive and fire. Only had about an inch of aluminum armor though. A 30 cal would go through it. It's hard to believe they still use them. I wonder if they still make them?

Not a bad vehicle if you remember that it’s not a tank. The A3 model has some good upgrades.

The US military has made the Iraqi Army amazingly powerful. All sorts of military schools, from basic training through command and general staff; a strong emphasis on logistics, supply and maintenance; division and corps level operations, worth their weight in gold.
As of July 2009, the Iraqi Army had 17 divisions, containing 56 brigades or 185 combat battalions.
