Re: American tanks are useless
Are you stupid? how would having a massive target, with minmal armour at back, where the tank crew is = better protection. MAYBE it's you who doesn't quite understand the whole idea of armour protection - increase survivability.
BTW Einstein the reason they put the door at the back which still aint figured out is so soldiers can quickly escape. Israel highly value it' soldiers, not that many of them hard to replace. They would much rather have bust easily replaceable tanks than crew going down. So yes I do know why. Do you?
I am not denying that they care about their soldiers * but you for some reason don't believe that israeli tanks aren't most armored in the world. Seriously, if they were that low armored then palestineans should be taking them out all the time.
If taking out tanks is a comparison, then iranian militias with not so advanced weapons compared to hezbollah have taken them out. The reason you don't see a lot of such incidents is that iraqi shiites are basically in power and it is foolish for them to fight british or even americans as the country is theirs for the taking as soon as the western forces leave [more a matter of 'when'].*
