You want to see first hand how we’ve been getting bilked by the military-industrial complex? Our Abrams tanks . . . you know, our main battle tanks . . . can’t go up hills in the snow. They skid and slide backwards.
This is what Six to nine MILLION DOLLARS EACH buys us?
This is the quality and engineering excellence of the American military industrial complex? Friggin pathetic.
Watch:
With weapons systems like this, would be even be able to defend our own country . . . in the winter????
Gee, sorry China, you have to wait until Spring to invade us because our tanks can’t go up hills in snow.

Could a weapon be carried in the bed of a Tacoma that would take out that tank?
Making fun of our military/industrial complex is great fun since they deserve it but really now; in order to go up that hill ANY vehicle would need spikes to penetrate the ice. No normal treaded vehicle could have negotiated up hill without quite a running start over shear ice with a light coating of snow. Even an old D9 Caterpillar bulldozer would have slid back down that icy incline. What the Abrams deserves to be made fun of for is its fuel mileage. When first built the vehicle had many ground-breaking innovations such as shoot on the go laser targeting with GPS intelligence, computer integration, etc. etc, $$$$$etc.. The jet-turbine which can use anything liquid that burns has turned out to be an expensive bust as nobody else has adopted the gas-hog power source. Diesel is less expensive than vegetable oil after all and far less nutritious. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
