Quoted: How many Abrams have been lost due to enemy fire? Can't be many. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: You are not wrong, though I believe there are some useful differences in the hull and turret armor composition, and definitely improvements in the ERA Bad tactics in Ukraine are getting tons of tanks wiped out and I am sure the Abrams would get smoked too with the same bad tactics, but one thing I am becoming more certain about is that even with potential improvements in the armor package of the T90 they aren't enough to make a difference, and they are still getting killed in large numbers by ATGMs So yeah, T90 not being much better than a T72 is likely true and something I don't disagree with How many Abrams have been lost due to enemy fire? Can't be many. In gulf war 1 IIRC none were lost to direct enemy fire. A number have been lost in Afghanistan to IEDs but its not many, maybe 20 tops? I am not sure tbh but it isn't a lot I don't remember reading about a tank killing an Abrams either. May have happened but I haven't come across it |

Quoted: I found the director did a really good job of juxtapositioning our innate need as humans and social beings to have a higher morality to shield us from our base and ugly (and unfortunately unstoppable) desire to kill and our celebration of death even though we know it is wrong. This conflict was beautifully played out in the character of Wardaddy and the dialectic struggle he endured trying to come to terms with what he had done to his fellow man on the battlefield, the horrors he had seen inflicted upon the innocent, and what he knew that he will continue to do against the Germans. His struggle was visualized by the characters of his tank crew and each one represented a phase, frame of mind or mode of thinking that he was battling with internally. In essence they weren't actually real but instead were windows into the cracked refraction of his tortured soul as he suffered through the dicotomy of doing his duty but also murdering his fellow man. The scene selection followed a progressive path as he vainly tried to make sense of his actions and his place in the universe knowing that he had assuredly defied the will of his creator, the ultimate judge of our higher morality, and was most certainly going to hell for his actions. The hell was not in the spiritual sense specifically, it was the hell of torment that his own soul felt because of his actions, and that torment was manifested in his decision to sacrifice himself to defend the crossroads as an atonement for his sins and as him begging for forgiveness to himself for what he had done. It was a dark and poignant movie with beautiful undertones of humanity, humility and regretfulness surrounded by rage, anger and the carnage of war All that I can really appreciate, but the fucking tank tactics were donkey dick bad View Quote Know what I appreciate?
