And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
To bad that's a propaganda piece. Dew to lack of funding, down sizing, and lack of new replacement tanks. Those guys get to train in that 30 to 37 year old,1970's designed, worn out POS about once a year. They didn't even QUALIFY in the "basic" test for the international tank competition this year. 97% of all the M1 , M1A1, and M1A2 tanks ever built are in "depot storage"(the boneyard) The DRMO, or sold overseas. The TOTAL NUMBER of serviceable M-1 type tanks in the entire US armed forces numbers about 200. Obama makes sure they seldom train.
I love tanks...I just do.
