The Marines have a saying..."Killing Tanks is Fun and Easy."

Chopper flying buddies in the 80's always referred to them as "Targets" not "Tanks."

The term "Plinking tanks" use by AF and Navy fliers to describe taking them out with laser guided bombs and other PGMs during the Gulf War, drove the Army Track Toads a little crazy. AF types used to say, if it moves or radiates, you can "see" it and if you can see it, you can kill it.
