M 41 Walker Bulldog
While the Thai leader, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. was in America attending the UN speeches, there was a coup in Thailand as tanks and APCs surrounded the center of the government. Now the coup leader, Gen. Sondhi Boonyaratkalin, is setting a time table for the take over and the former king of Thailand, Bhumibol Adulyadej, is supporting the coup.
Of course all I'm interested in is the weapons. I always wondered where our 1950s Walker Bulldog tanks (rumoured to be the most crew comfortable ever) ended up. Now I know.
I think they look pretty good--gleaming and pampered, like the cars Jay Leno collects.
