I noticed the Manuel and Wikipedia both use the same sentence.

Si?

Article concerning the M10 TD.  Don't know which one was written first (cause I never did figure out how to see previous revisions on Wikipedia.

"It was numerically the most important U.S. tank destroyer of World War II and combined a reasonably potent anti-tank weapon with a turreted platform "  Appears in both.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Google that quote, it appears everywhere, from Youtube comments to blogs to internet forums.  I haven't seen anyone credit a source with it, they seem to pass it off as their own thought.

The Encyclopedia of Weapons of World War II, Chris Bishop, 1998

"there's a long tradition of insulting people we disagree with here, and I'll be damned if I listen to your entreaties otherwise."-OVB

"Obviously not a Berkut-commanded armored column.  They're not all brewing."- CdM

"We've reached one of our phase lines after the firefight and it smells bad—meaning it's a little bit suspicious... Could be an amb—".

That's really strange.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny.
