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.

We had two. Some things about them were incredibly tough and some things (brakes, exhaust system, window roll mechanism, etc), were impossible to keep in repair and working. Over all Junk.
My uncle had one of those tanks. He couldn't drive worth a damn, but he was as safe in that thing as he could be and survived numerous accidents. Mostly accidents that he caused.
