What is this swanky music that starts playing at 3:26?

@maugustyniak The song title is "Fire". It's from the Unreal Tournament soundtrack.

@VickersIndependent Am I the only one that finds this comment funny? The entire channel is dedicated to trashing the mechanical features of military vehicles, and here this comment is saying that it is impossible for one of these mechanical features to have failed!

@BlacktailDefense And let me guess, you don't need experience to know what you are talking about? That is only true to an extent.

You need viable experience in at least some type of military to truly know what you are talking about. You are just a someone who always was and always will be a civilian, and you have no idea what it is like to serve. And yet you act like your words are facts. It's kind of funny.

@BlacktailDefense People are thinking, they just don't have a constant biased slant to literally everything they do, and they actually have experience with these vehicles. You have no experience with literally anything. It's weird.

@franknbeans4761 "You base your poor claims off of pathetic websites that have no real sources and no real first hand accounts."

You mean like Militaryphotos(dot)net, with it's thousands of screennames belonging to hundreds of people? More precisely, people like Greg Wooden; /watch?v=EHwvdmEyPHQ

@franknbeans4761 "That entire website you use just tries to make the US military look bad."

That doesn't mean that it's wrong.

"Honestly, go to forums where US service members post pictures and hold actual discussions on things good and bad for the military. Militaryphotos(dot)net is a good one, and is internationally run..."

...by subscribers of the same mindset. If everyone is thinking alike, nobody is thinking.

@BlacktailDefense That entire website you use just tries to make the US military look bad. I don't see how you could be in such denial.

Honestly, go to forums where US service members post pictures and hold actual discussions on things good and bad for the military.

Militaryphotos(dot)net is a good one, and is internationally run. But I doubt your trolling would last..

You base your poor claims off of pathetic websites that have no real sources and no real first hand accounts.

@franknbeans4761 "And what is it that makes you believe "too many AGT1500s have been work-out beyond repair to sustain the full US M1 inventory of 6000 tanks"?"

That over 6000 M1 chassis' were bought by the US military, but only some 4000 are still maintained, and only about 3000 are actually *operational*.

Also, these observations that are now almost 10 years old;
