Sad thing is since the war the M1 Plant in Warren, MI had been fully decommission. We are selling off our goods and not being able to replace them. Both Iraqi campaigns have give us causes to be too lax. But that is another story...
Yeah I have to agree with you it will be more like making today armor cars than any thing worthy of MBT. By 2000 even M113 armed with three M60s would cause people to have grave concern. *Shrug*
