"Bravo Two Zero" (about the Gulf War TRUE STORY) and "Immediate Action" about how young McNab came to be an SAS trooper is also a great read...it was the primary reason all SAS personnel are now required to sign nondisclosure agreements before entering the service. It's also the reason SEALS have to do the same thing thanks to "SHARKMAN" Richard Marcinko and his series of books thinly disguised as ahem..."fiction."
Back to the thread..this is a B-I-G mistake to keep the heavy armor out of the scenario. The Abrahms is arguably the best tank in the world and was one of the "sealants" to the first Gulf War. And okay, I'm biased, speaking as a former M1A1 tank officer. But I'm telling you any invasion without "Whispering Death" is going to go FUBAR before you can yell "ON THE WAAAAAAY!"
