The photographs certainly are impressive.

And I realize that the site is not professional, but does no one know how to write anymore?

"[T]heir hatches all but sealed from lack of use"—this means the opposite of what they think it means. They meant, "Their hatch seals are all but gone from lack of use."

"This really does look like a cemetery, with the half-interred remains all too visible." Yes, I remember at the last funeral I attended, how impressed I was that they left the casket half-buried.

Peter Griffin bought a tank from you once, as I recall!

Been to Lima, OH. at the Ford engine plant down there. Didn’t know they built tanks there. Seen a lot of tanks up around Sterling Heights though. Doesn’t matter where they’re built, it’s all heavy metal and all of us have a hand in it.

They sure got the T-62s out of service fast! Nobody kept them! T-55s still running, but T-62s - nope!

The Afghanis still use 'em. No automatic loader to eat the loader's arm, as in the T-72
