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.
Reminds me of driving snorkel rigged Studebaker/Reo 5-ton trucks through the surf at Onslow beach in Camp Lejeune back in 1962. Sit on the top back of the seat, lock throttle at 2,000 RPM and steer with your feet.
When you have to cross the river...no better way.

ReplyDeleteThat sounds like fun. I'd like to think you guys finished up that adventure by firing up a beach bbq with the Swedish bikini team.
DeleteWhat nationality is that tank?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that when it's out of the water that those snorkels are lowered to better conceal the tank's profile.
My kid thinks it's a Russian T-90 but isn't positive. I was happy I identified it as a tank.
DeleteI think that it's a T-90. Good call. Note the reactive armor that's more integrated than it is in earlier models.
Deletewas the cable and U bolt, in the fore ground of first picture, for when they didn't quite make it across...
