I was flipping throught he dial this evening (tuesday) when I came across a show on the History channel (I've no idea what it was). The narrator was decrying the deficiencies of the M4 Sherman tank, a subject which I have inundated you kind folks with as of late. As the narrator is speaking I'm watching the usual footage of a Sherman advancing down a street and then quickly it cuts to a Sherman on fire, so on and so forth. As the three to five second snippets are flashing by they show an M4 churning up a muddy field. Painted down the left side of the hull in at least six inch high letters, bold as brass was the name Warhawk.


I almost wet myself.



Not very important, but I had to share.
