    On top being a dicktorial huge waste of money, the M1 Abrams is an extremely heavy tank to use on roads that haven’t been well maintained. Given his habits and hissy fits,the Donvict is going to stick whatever mayor for the bill to repair those roads. This was one of the reasons the Pentagon denied tanks last time for a parade request and proposed Striker Vehicles instead. He got mad as he does in his man child ways because he wanted the big tanks . Probably wants soldiers to do the high heel kick march as is tradition when preparing for a world war. The higher the kick the higher the success rate.

      Sorry have to disagree on your last sentence there. The Wehrmacht didn’t kick particularly high - unlike in Soviet tradition

        And that’s probably why they lost! Gotta get that hip flexion going!
