Sounds like a great weopon to use against Nazi Germany in 1944. Trouble is, that's probably not the war we'll fight next.

How many bidges or roadways in the 3rd world will support a 70 ton vehicle? Rummy thinks these are a boondogle. I thinks rummy knows what he's doing.

You are certainly correct. It would also have helped McArthur hold back the Chinese hordes who streamed over the Yalu River. The Korean Conflict might have turned out diffently.

No, we have no use for this weapon. I mean, what are the chances that we'll ever have to face the enormous manpower of the Chinese army? We certainly don't need a weapon that can face down massed troops. No siree.
