In celebration of K-MO's grand return, I am reminded of a similar Grand Arrival at the motor pool.

As to where I have been...well, let's say a part of me thought I should shut the h-e-double hockey sticks up before I started believing my own press like some former General whose name shall be toasted or reviled depending on affiliations, opinions, rank, etc.
The other part of me was just too damned tired.
Um, John, is it just me, or does the profile of that Bradley bear a remarkable resemblance to a Sherman? :)
While I doubt they would win, it might be fun to accompany Mr. Peabody to watch some Bradleys take on early Panther tanks. The Bushmaster may be only 25mm, but I wonder if the higher rate of fire and APDS would make much of a difference?
It may be silly, but I am regularly struck by the similarities between some modern designs and "obsolete" WW2-era platforms. The Bradley vs. the Sherman is one, Essex class carriers and modern Marine LHAs are another.
More recently we have seen calls for turbine-engine CAS aircraft. What was that Marx said about history?
