There's the canard about "women and children" in prisons again, but no mention of the thousands of Israeli women and children actually targeted and murdered over the past few years by the generic Arab (mythical "Palestinian") terrorists.
But unintentionally, the whole propaganda rant tells us that the generic Arab invanders in Israel aren't really very concerned about their children or their "infrastructure."
so when a Palestinian approaches a Merkava and is taken down, the world should know why. These people have a diabolical heart.
Mr Bush ? See ?????? Walls apparently DO work.
On the lighter side, I wonder what the human anti tank mines are going to do when the term "Co-axial machinegun" is explained to them by hard reality?
Has a suicide bomber ever stopped a tank?
No. It takes a shaped charge to burn through the armor. Usually the kamakazi just messes up the paint job, leaves a red film on the finish to hose off later.
These people have a diabolical heart
They have no heart. They are not human.
OH YES! During the start of Korean War Counter-Offensive
the North Koreans used soldiers who place Anti-Tank Mines
on their chests and ran from structures along the roads
into the sides of our tanks. It worked!
The original suicide bomber. The Hamas will start to use
IED within the next couple of days. IED are their only defense against tanks.
Ah, the Saint Pancake maneuver. This should be interesting.
Dumpster Baby spoke the truth.
In that case, this sounds like a win-win situation.
Wonder if the Palis know that their "martyrs" will wash off with a little soap and water?
Shhhh don't ruin their surprise.
Can their religious advisers be convinced to get them ALL to lie down in front of the tanks, so the world can be cured of their disease once and for all.
Maybe it would be best if their religious advisers set the example for them, for a change, and led the way instead of just telling them what an honor it is while they preserve themselves.
I hadn't heard that about the North Koreans. I guess we'll find out how the Pali Pink Mist Brigade fared when we turn on the news tomorrow morning.
If the Palis were just stupid I might feel a little sorry for them. But stupid AND vicious rules out my sympathy.
An Israeli Merkava 
The tanks we were using in Korea were outmatched by the opposition in WW2, much less the Soviet advances during and after the war.
FYI, that tactic didn't work against the Soviet T-72s in Afghanistan (except, again, if someone managed to blow off a track). It hasn't worked against M1s in Iraq, and I really, really doubt that it'll work against the Merkava Mk 4s that the Israelis have specifically built for urban warfare and this kind of fighting.
Flays are only useful against conventional buried mines and some magnetic mines. IED are wire/radio/cell phones
controlled and off set to the road.
But you are right if the suicide bomber comes head on.
(Should be neat to watch ---! Had a cat caught up one winter morning in the fan blades of a D-8 on a job site
I was on. UGH!)
