Hmmm....that's what's interesting to me. The future role of the armoured cav.
Yes I remember the tank's role in the Iraq campaigns along with the problems associated with desert warfare: sandstorms, sand in the treads, the intense heat. I am also aware of the overwhelming success of the tanks against Saddam's "Lion of Babylon" which amounted to nothing more than target practice. MI Abrams is the top tank I believe but that really wasn't my question.
Rather, I am rethinking warfare in the post-9/11 era. I think battlefield tactics have to drastically change if they haven't already.
Idunno, just armchair generaling anyways.
