wow Looks like someone upped their dosages of diethylamide of lysergic acid.
Opps Sorry. Almost forgot the topic again. first time I heard a tank starting I thought, "damn thing's gonna sprout wings and turn into a jet. YAY Transformers!" lol
Yay for transformers but I'm the one on drugs?I'm pretty sure acid has a shelf-life of under 40 years and 1975 was when the bad acid stopped and coke took over.
You would have fun cutting seismic line with a Cat that is big enough that the trees fall before they slow you down much, then you turn around and pile the trees to one side. That means pay attention or a treetop will go through you and stick you to the seat and that would make everybody late for supper.
Why would anybody do acid up there? The wilderness is pretty trippy by itself, no way I would spend much time out there without having one of those machines. Might as well start out as the new king of the forest or as long as the fuel lasts. Maybe some green tobacco for when the sun goes down and you are still out there with the moon and the trees combining to create scenery that will straighten your curly hairs let alone make the ones on your neck do the same.
Cats are too slow anyway to keep the mind occupied, enter a car rally on acid now that has possibilities. Probably end up coming back in a different car or some same thing. All the ones that found them joined the party and forgot to mention that nobody was lost.
Who would want to spend hours wondering if that was take the next two lefts an a right or take two next lefts you got that right? How worried you be if you had all the fuel on a heavy sleigh? Sooner or later somebody will come alone, they always do.
The Abrahms is a very capable tank, one of the best. A bit expensive but thats not engineerings fault.
Once they fire DU rounds they become contaminated themselves. That is why so many frames have never been recycled.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]8. Conclusions[/FONT]
"Depleted uranium - the apocalypse?" was the first question asked in the introduction. Based on the above presentation and the analysis of possible consequences on man and environment, the answer is as follows:
An apocalypse caused by man as a result of the use of DU ammunition in Iraq and the Balkans is
not worthy of discussion! Are there "irradiated Swiss soldiers in Kosovo?"
The answer to this second question is:
If certain minimal precautions are taken - i.e.
no trespassing on tank wrecks and no long-term contact with remaining DU ammunition fragments - the health risks of a time-limited stay in a DU-contaminated area are shown to be
negligibly small, especially in comparison to other risks such as mine fields, duds, snipers, etc.
