Ok,Ok, I know i always blab on and on about the superb IDF.....
Well I never said there arent a few idiots here and then...
By a storie published today by "Yediot Aharonot"(an Israeli news paper):
The man of some Gollany(one of Israels infantery brigades) regiment have a hobby-when they stay on duty for the weekend, they take the vhicles for joy rides....All was well when it was Jeeps and Humvees, but this weekend a soldier took the hobby over the edge...
The soldier(who has no military lisence, or any heavy vhicle lisence) started by taking an "Abir" 4X4 truck for a ride, all went well and he enjoied himself. He then decided to take the fun to the next level, and took a M113 APC for a spin...He managed well, even though he has no lisence for this APC....So, he decided to take the fun to an even higher level. He got in a "Achzarit" Super Heavy(45 metric tonns) APC, and started the engine....In a few secons he lost controll of the APC, which now started running every thing in sight...The "Achzarit" drove through and took down several buildings, until it got stuck on a trailer.....
WHAT A BLOODY IDIOT!!!!

Haha, sounds like this crazy ex-soldier who stole an M60 tank from a National Guard armory in San Diego and went joy-riding around the city in it, trying to knock down overpasses and driving through telephone poles, motor homes, and anything else he got the urge to.

about ten years ago this guy that was a cook in the armor core in israel stole a merkava tank....ran into a bus....a track went off....crazy bastard was trying to show his girl what a "fighter" he is...

Did it work? Was she impressed?

no she was scared....
I need a correction though, he did not steal a Merkava, it was a M60(Magach)...

Haha, I do that on Grand Theft Auto

Haha, probably ends about the same way too, huh?
With a police officer parting your hair for you.

At least in GTA 2 your safe as long as your in the tank, but then they bring the national guard with a bunch of tanks and kill you.....

I put the pic as my backround...

Yeah, I think a 60 ton tank is about the ultimate joyride, and I don't understand how on earth that guy's girlfriend wouldn't be impressed. I mean come on now, look at the effort he put into it.

Take your girl on a date in a tank...take her for a weekend with a battleship....
