I just won't say anything else. I don't want anyone to look ignorant.

But let me ask you this.

How many tanks do we need to find Osama bin Laden? Because we've got thousands and we haven't found him yet. Our stealth bombers haven't helped much either.

As you can read in the snopes link, the data quoted there is HORRIBLY inaccurate.



Let's see, how about an opinion from someone who has been there? Oh yeah, I have!

I can tell you this, when you are rolling up MSR Tampa, trying to get a convoy of 60 gasoline tankers from Southern refineries to Northern cities such as Baghdad, Tikrit, Fallujah, etc, and you are passing bridges that have been blown up by terrorists, repaired by Americans (improvised), and now guarded by Bradleys and Abrams, you are very thankful we have those tanks. But hey, who needs them to fight unconventional wars, right? Give me a break...
