The Abrams tank, supported by M2 Bradley scout vehicles demonstrated the superiority of Western military tactics using heavy tanks against old style Warsaw Pact tactics, that are still in a total state of suckage, especially the Chicoms.
How many American servicemen would have died if all we had were the old M60A3?
We took out over a 1000 Iraqi tanks with no vehicle losses ourselves and only one American life lost, and 'C Clayton Jonesy' thinks it is bullshit, lol.
Why are you so afraid to answer the question of what "liberals were proven wrong" and how?
I can't even remember when anyone had any doubts that the M1 Abrams could take out the old style Soviet tanks the Iraqi's had.
Now whether we should have attacked Iraq at the time- that has nothing to do with the Abrams at all.
