Is
Alaska the new 'Nevada?'
It
is a misnomer to say that General Dynamics wants a cold
environment to test their large tanks. Aren't they
destined for Iraq? Aren't they going after the 305
million that the USMC has to spend on new tanks?
Someone shared
with me that, "They cannot be properly armored at that size
... nor can they stay afloat. Men testing this should wear
wet suits; have the hatch open; wear the fluffy type of life
vest (not air inflatable). Will there be enough boats to
help save the lives of the soldiers?"
"It's not the right tank for the
military, anyway, but it is General Dynamic's cash cow."
