Tank Jockey Rides into Pareee!
I guess one of my happiest moments was when we rode into ole Gay Paree, having cleaned out a lot of them Huns from France. The Captain let me be the one to actually drive our tank that day, and, lemme tell you, it's a hell of a lot of fun, steerin' one of them big sons a bitches around.
To be honest with you, I've never been much of a driver, but that sure don't matter too much if what yer drivin' is a tank. Hell, even if you hit a light pole or somethin' it aint' gonna do much damage. And them French girls just LOVED a man in a tank, as I was to find out over and over again until we had to move out a couple days later. Next Previous
