Great! Now get everything else out of the Balkans, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Korea and bring 'em home to the Mexican border!

I remember the M-1s in K-town across the river where I was stationed. I remember the 73 Israeli war. We tried to ship a bunch of them on freighters out to Israel from Bremerhaven...the effing NAZI germans wouldn’t allow them to leave.

Does this mean that WWII is finally over?
Did we ever find Hitler?

The closing of an era.
Thank you to all who kept a watchful eye on the Fulda Gap during those years, and kept western Europe free.

So it only takes a ‘sequestration’ cut.
Congress should have let sequestration happen a long time ago.

I love tanks, but I think their day has passed. The only thing they’re good for now is running over unarmed civilians, and we don’t do that. Tanks will continue to be used by many regimes who do like running down civilians.
A $10,000 drone can take out a $10,000,000 tank.
Expect the same thing with piloted attack aircraft. Eventually all devices will be remote or robotic.
The real pisser is that the colonization of space will be done by remote/robotic control! How’s that for crazy?
To: Timber Rattler
You think we need to remove our fighting capabilities and store them all in Texas and Arizona and New Mexico?

Had a buddy in Germany in the 80s. Said he was driving on the a-baun at about 60mph (in a jeep) and got passed by a M-1.
Then they put the governors on them. :(

The guy on the right is having a hard time lifting that tank with a rope but the guys underneath are doing a great job of helping.

The M1 didn't enter service till around 80'.
