You're so lucky. My dream millitary job would be to sit in an Abrams' command seat. Just too bad I've got this strange affinity for air conditioning that keeps me in civilian life

The Abrams is a giant air conditioner. It's really cool on the M1A1's with the CWS, using the .50cal from inside.

Just come to Norwich Univeristy for college studies and choose to be a cadet. It's a crap load of work, but you get to join cool clubs like armor company, the only program like it in the nation. Plus there is rangers, mountain cold weather, and many other clubs for those that are highly motivated people.

Just out of curiosity, what happened to the crews of those two Abrams? the second one looks really

up.

FO Seaman · October 23rd, 2005

The first one looks to have been hit by an RPG-7V HEAT round in the engine compartment.

The second must have been hit by a bomb or an IED and caught fire.

There are dozens of these tanks scattered all over the place, I don't know what happened to the crews. I just requested some friends to take a few pictures on their travels.
