True, true.
The Sheridan could have been so much different.
Pretty much guaranteed that if it were redesigned today, it'd look similar to the two man/three man light scout tank that congress canceled recently.

Nice job on the thread.

Thanks. I got some close up looks at the Sheridan, I tend to like the MBT's and the Sheridan just doesn't qualify. :-)

Well, my favorite tank is the Abrams. The USA really hit a home run with the M-1, not that I'm partial to home cooking don't you know.

My favorite historical tank is a toughie, sometimes I'm partial to the Tiger and sometimes the Panther.

You gat that right it took us a long time but we finally developed and fielded the best tank in the world. The one thing that amazed me though was the lack of the ability to fire an HE round. I wonder who came up with that idea originally.

Evening Grace Snip & Sam~

It's great to be back to understanding only 10% of "Treadhead Tuesday"!

Hey, call me ignorant (okay . . . ignorant!) but I can't believe this tank was created in the 60s and is now retired?!?!?

Sweet!

I LIKE IT! It's my opinion the long after people forget bill clinton they'll still remember Neil Armstrong.

We REALLY REALLY need to go back. It's what we do, see what's over the next hill.

Something to remember, we're still in the model T age when it comes to computers.

Now what I want is a system that does what I want it to do, not what I tell it to do.
