"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."

I still remember graduating from Jump School in '88 and some *military thinkers* were talking about how the days of the mass tactical parachute jumps were long since over...some of those articles appeared a week or so before Operation Just Cause.
