I got to borrow those M113 command vehicles (M577?) a couple of times. Tanks are
hot, smelly, cramped and make you vomit. I don't understand why anyone would
want to get inside one. I'd rather walk into battle, even with a radio on my
back. I take my beret/peak cap/slouch hat off to you.

Ever been in a diesel submarine? They are truely the worst things ever designed.
