[Colt .45]

Kinda like when they were saying that the aircraft carrier is obsolete. However, nothing is quite as effective towards getting your point across, like parking 90,000 tons of diplomacy off of some dickhead's coast and projecting the will of American resolve, when you're launching those first airstrikes. Speed and firepower plus good strategy win wars, this turd talking about the end of the tank era is , IMHO full of crap. You still will need them for the heavy infantry supporting firepower. Tanks can and do instill fear in the enemy.

Ain't that the truth?
