Instead of a war bond tour we need a UNCLE SAM NEEDS YOUR SUV tour.
Line'em up and light'em up, a hit a day keeps the CO away.

What the hell were they doing on the range? They're lucky they're not dead. I can't believe the shells just went through the tank and did explode, HEI or not. Maybe that's just Hollywood though... :lol:

Training rounds ('TP', or Target Practice) are just slug bullets.

one of the reports sates that they were on the reservation, but were 3 miles from the firing range. So, who was at fault, 3 miles aint much if you are throwing nukes around, but it is ALOT when you are shooting 20mm.

There are many 'tactical' targets spread out on a place like UTTR that aren't in the middle of a big plowed-out circle.
