    A tank is a tank but it really isn't. I saw acroes of tanks when my son was stationed in Georgia (I think) and El Paso. What a difference.

      There are several different types of tanks, that's true. Acres of tanks? That's a LOT of tanks =)

    I don't think I could ride inside one. It seems like such a small space. Weekends In Maine

      Yes, it does look like it would be cramped inside. But I suppose inside is better than outside if people are shooting at you =)
