Being a tank driver or tank crew is about one more dangerous jobs in a active war. Tank warfare is more about get them first before they get you. The war in Ukraine is rewriting the books on any mobile infantry. @M60A3Driver Thank you for your service.

In my reading I ran across two unusual stories about the M60 Tank.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982_Mannheim_attack
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_S...o_tank_rampage

I have mostly lived in the South East most of my life but in my travels in the North East corridor and seeing the number of oil tanks on the eastern shore, I am not surprised they think you have something do with giant round cylinders.
Thank you. It was my honor to serve.
As far as movies go, I think Fury nails the brotherhood that a tank crew has and the cramped quarters of a tank. "Best job I ever had".
