It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I see on the Syrian A-Team everybody is cosplaying B.A. Barracus.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

That's pretty badass.

Would be nice to have some backup vision slits though.

Wonder what the purpose of the library after hours drop box on the front is.

This must mean they're getting pretty close to winning.  The Libyan rebels started building homemade tanks right before they won, too. :)

Where's the pull cord to start the engine?

Yeah, if they seem to have enough free time now given that they don't spend most of the day trying not to be killed by well armed government soldiers.

So if their webcams are taken out the thing is blind?

If their controller cable is long enough they could stand up in the hatch and drive I suppose

That's not a tank, it's an armored car.

Stupid news agencies would report a rowboat carrying 3 drunken rednecks with shot guns as being a battleship.

Yep. And I'm guessing that thing could be taken out with one 12.7mm round.

Good slope on the upper glacis plate, but the lower glacis plate is an obvious huge weak point.  The gun is also a bit weak compared to 100 mm pieces on the Syrian tanks.

The 3 drunken rednecks with shotguns might be able to pierce that armor.  Even if not, as someone said, take out the cameras and the crew is blind.  Sure, they could unzip and stick their heads out of hatches, but then what's the point of having the armor if your head isn't behind it?
