infantry in tanks

I've got no argument with that.

Just like the M551,on top of the turret is the only way to carry a passenger and not have them fried. This practice was highly discouraged back then,and I'd guess pretty well is today.

Short of a dire emergency,modern armies don't need tanks to serve as supplemental APC's.

Just goes to show any real grunt will put up with almost anything in order to ride rather then walk for a while

Our course not always,as nothing in life is a certainty. There is always going to be the exception to every rule. I don't know the cimcumstances behind this image. Who knows,maybe a roadside IED knocked out the squads vehicle. Yeah,I'd take a lift,too. Maybe their engine over heated,and they didn't want to be stranded in no-mans land? Beats walking in a hostile enviroment AFAIC.

I stand behind my original point.
