Better keep a close eye on that tank crew.
Just the one tank crew? It's a magic penis in an Army camp! The officers better keep an eye on the whole fucking battalion!

My personal theory is that Superman was in a betting contest against Flash as to who could piss the farthest.

Stupid Question: Could there have been something wrong with this tank? Such as poor quality armor? :oops:

I'm just amazed...if this indeed is not a bullshit story....what in the HELL oculd make a hole that small, through so much armor...surely not a standard round, which would "Flatten out" Right? it looks like someone took a drill bit and drove it through the side of the tank. the only part thats bigger than a pencil hole is INside the tank....

Oh god, chardok has discovered the new Iraqi WMD, the portable power drill with carbide tip. Bow before its tank crushing power. We had better nuke Baghdad before they get electic screwdrivers with magnetic heads, then we will really be in trouble.

There’s a tally on armor floating around, I’ve yet to see anything for soft skinned. There’s so many trucks and humvves floating around I doubt anyone above the battalion or perhaps brigade level really knows what there unit has lost.

Could a kinetic penetrator make that kind of signature in any way?

You have aroused the conspiracy theorist in me.

Could it be a French/EU covert ops team testing weapons that they will use in their eventual war against the United States of America?

Could it be the Aliens that do Satan's bidding in Iraq hunting down good and righteous Americans?

Could it be American Men in Black testing a new laser weapon?
