So quiet you could hear tanks squeak
OK the one thing I will say here is that a WW2 Sherman tank being quiet enough that all you hear is the squeaking is actually on a technical point quite impressive.
One of the most unchanging elements of modern warfare is that tracked armored vehicles are loud. You don't sneak an armored column of tanks through the other side of a city like you could with a line of trucks or even wheeled armored vehicles.
Tanks, actual main battle tanks with tank treads, squeek, rumble, clang, clash, clunk, cludge and VROOOOOOOM their way through life. This is the natural state of a tank it is just everything is usually not this quiet around a tank or tank mechanics pull some black magic shit to make tanks temporarily NOT be squeeky during parade? I don't know, but I do know we should be giving this Sherman mechanic more credit for making their tank so damn quiet.
I didn't get the teasing about the WD-40.. it's a fucking tank. Have you never watched a war movie? They squeak They're loud. They induce terror.
The dissonance disappears when one realizes that our Republicans don’t have principles.
California Republicans are traitors.
~~California~~ Republicans are traitors.
When laws are applied uniformly, Republicans hate it.
Because it's directed towards THEM, not US.
Most republicans are quiet. All republicans are to blame.
Never too late to be on the right side of history.
That's because Republicans don't hate government over reach, they love government over reach, it's what they're all about. As long as it's their over reach....
Fucking retarded republicans allowing facism.
Well of course they're quiet. You don't contradict Daddy. Daddy doesn't like that.
