acknowleded it and did not deploy the Abrams, sticking with upgraded versions
of the M-60, would we be better off today, would we have been as successful

Not unlike the B-2. It was hailed as one of the biggest waste of taxpayer

capabilities were apparent. Now we want more. Granted it was intended
strictly as a nuclear platform but, like the BUFF is has proved very useful in
other roles.
