"To catch a tank"--US Army Infantry school

[shahadi]

I noted the article was published in 30 June 1972. Although the artwork and design is humorous, of the Fred Flintstone TV evening animated sitcom, it nonetheless is wholly outdated. Today's Abrams crews can locate, identify, and fire from inside, so firing at the tank with marksmanship to force the crews to hunker down would not work today. Furthermore, crews have periscopes, providing 360 views with independent thermal viewers (CITV) giving them independent stabilized day and night vision. However, what I find most salient is the comprehensive training and combined arts doctrine of American tank crews today that were not evident in 1972.

Yabba dabba doo!
