I am inordinately fond of this idea. Unfortunately Soviet armor was built around the idea of "lighter" so that they could design their bridges to not bear the weight of American armor. That way they didn't have to blow up their bridges in case NATO decided to advance east; they could use their infrastructure, but the Americans couldn't.

"Lighter" unfortunately translates to "smaller" and the height cutoff for Soviet armor crews is four inches shorter than I am.

I had great sadness when I discovered this.

I mean if you're really committed, you could just cut your feet off...

I like the way you're thinking.

KB, it's time to settle down and live vicariously through your child.
