#5 I like how the armored Humvee at the link is referred to as a "tank". Seriously Journalists, when you fail at basic terminology of ANYTHING, nobody is going to listen to you anymore.

#6 Silentbrick, you see the 'Hummer is an Assault Vehicle with icky military features. Like a rifle having a pistol grip and a detachable magazine -- this makes it just the same as a tankā„¢.
