Army Times |
NPR mentioned the Army Times (armytimes.com) is not being to nice to the
Bush Administration.
I just looked at it and there is an interesting article about an Abrams
being put out of action:
"What killed a U.S. tank?
On Aug. 28, 2003, an unknown munition, thought to be no wider than a pencil,
pierced the side of an M1A1 Abrams tank on patrol in Baghdad. The round
crippled the 69-ton vehicle and slightly injured its commander and gunner.
It was the second Abrams knocked out of commission by the enemy in Operation
Iraqi Freedom. Now Army officials are trying to figure out what kind of
mystery projectile could pierce the Abrams armor and disable it. "
I don't remember seeing it anyplace else.
WOW. Army intelligence that isn't an oxymoron.

This has been the subject of much debate and speculation over in
sci.military.moderated for quite a while now. The closest thing to
an eye-witness report that I've seen makes it sound like an extremely
lucky shot with a shaped-charge projectile.

It might be a god. Or maybe the Iraqis are praying to Allah to good
effect (unlike Christians who can't even magic up a passing grade on a
Calculus test).
