    Can lightning disable a tank? I don’t want the crews to get hurt but four or five M1 Abrams stuck in the middle of Constitution Ave would make for some fucking GREAT b-roll for the nightly news.

      Maybe? I kind of doubt it, though. These things are freaking built like tanks, after all.

                  You’ll salute the troops and thank them for their service as they’re running us over with tanks.
