4/2     Do tanks (American ones?) have cooling systems such as air
        conditioners for its crew?
        \_ maybe they should have AM/FM radio, CD player, and a DVD screen
           to go alone with it?
           \_ it does get very hot in the desert and in those things, people
              must be cooking.
        \_ How about internet access in the tanks?  Surf porn while waiting
           for orders.
                \_ Yes: http://slate.msn.com/id/2080955  (Solaris x86 even)
        \_ HAHA. No. Ever been to a naval ship/tank museum?
           \_ Abrams M1A1 has air conditioning.  In fact, more is true --
              it has air filtering, as it was designed to operate in
              environments where chemical, biological and nuclear weapons
              were used.  Russian soldiers often mock the americans 'because
              their tanks have air conditioning.'
              \_ last time i checked, Russian tanks and jet planes also
                 have air conditioning.  like all weapons, none of it was
                 designed for soldier's comfort.
              \_ Russia still has soldiers?  Do they mock ours for getting
                 paid regularly, too?
                 \_ Puny weak american materialistic capitalist consumer
                    pig dog! Real Solider does not need pay to fight!
                    Vodka for self and tank is enough!
                    \_ I see the flaw in my argument now.  Russian is great.
                       America is weak.  We'll be crushed any day now!
           \_ No?  How do they survive the heat in a summer desert together
              with the heat from the engine and the cannon?
        \_ Yead a hatch to open and let the cool desert air in.
        \_ Abrams are pressurized.
            \_ Really? pv=nrt
           \_ What for?
              \_ to keep out water, posion gas, sand, etc, etc?
                \_ Who TF deleted my correct response. ALL modern tanks have full
                   NBC protection.
                   \_ use motdedit
