There’s so much effective anti-tank stuff flying around these days, armor is the last place I’d want to be.

My dad was an armor jockey way back in the 60s before I was born and as a kid watching war movies, especially the great Kelly’s Heroes, he called tanks “armored coffins”.

If I had to be in any of them, Abrams is where I want to be but you are right about the wide world of anti-tank weapons. I’d rather be on the anti-tank side of the equation.

Armor M.O.S. had the highest death rate by far during the
Vietnam affair. 27% of all armor mos were killed.
