Dodging the Bradley!


When Nicholas Cage is correcting his dominant eye problem by wrapping the panties around his head. He is told to dodge the tank. The tank is in fact a Bradley, a light skin armor vehicle, not a tank. It is only mistaken for a tank due to the M292 25 mm Chain Gun mounted in the turret. The only true defense against another tank is the 5" TOW II Missile system mounted on the side of the turret.

I saw the movie recently and I think that the M2 Brad can collectively be called a "tank" since it meets some of the criteria of one. In the heat of the moment "dodge the tank" rolls off the tongue quicker than "dodge the Infantry Fighting Vehicle".

"Shall I put a giant sign on the side that says in fifty languages 'I am not a tank, please do not shoot me!'?"

Sorry, wrong movie.

"But it's a troop carrier, not a tank."


Can't we all just get along?

"We're not trying on a pair of Levis, Colonel."

I love that line.
