So once these tanks get way in... How do they refuel?

They run on the blood of all the innocent Iraqi women and children that they are killing along the way. CNN won't show it but's it's happening.

Kanji lettering, and a big fat "VTEC" sticker slapped on the ass-end of the Army's finest.

thanks, I always wanted orange juice on my monitor!
 
They run on sand that is scooped up from the ground as they go... They are perpetual motion machines so long as they stay in the mid east. 🙂
 
They have "Mr. Fusion's" on them like the DeLorean from BTTF. They just throw in some banana peels, beer (can too), egg shells, and various other garbage and it's good to go!
 
Damn Odsmoboat...

Guess we shoulda slapped horns on these suckers. Oh you don't mean we are running them over.... sorry.

Maybe you're confusing all those women and children with the ones left lying around during Binnies gas em and grass em experiment?

It's true. I threw a couple protesters in my tank today, my car runs much smoother now.


 
we pay for their gas.
ahhahhaa

there is a treadmill inside the tank and soldiers run inside it to keep it going.
 
Modern war is all about logistics.

There are combat refuelers, soft skinned fuel trucks behind the spearhead and also helicopters that bring in fuel bladders.
The american tanks are turbine engined so require a lot more fuel than the british diesel powered tanks.
 
They are most likely being supported by what is known as a "Forward Support Battalion".
This unit provides all aspects of support to the front lines.. such as fuel, food, maintainance, and a few combat medics in with the mix..

I've been in both kind of support units... the "Forward Support Battalion" and the "Main Support Battalion"
The Forward Support basically tags behind the front line providing immediate support. They are far enough back behind the front lines, in void of immediate enemy fire.. but close enough to the front lines, to give support at a moments notice..

The Main Support Battalion is most likely located on a main camp in the main combat zone. They provide support to the Forward Support Battalion. They also provide maintainance support for the things that the Forward does not do. Forward Support basically does a "break, swap & fix" routine... Main support would then take that part, and do the detailed technical mainainance of whatever was broke. Being out on the Forward side of things, you are worried about getting the tank, missile system, or whatever it is you are working on fixed in the shortest amount of time possible..
