I’m currently watching a History Channel show on stealth. And they are saying the M1A2 “can roar across the desert at almost 45 mph.” What? I thought the Abrams was good for over 50, flat out. But I’ve checked several sources, and it seems top speed is “governed” to 42. What’s up?

Update: It is to laugh. On the same program, they are talking about the Future Warrior project. And some brainiac is saying “the day may come when a soldier can punch a code into his suit, and make it adapt to any enviroment.” What? When that day comes, the suit will be smart enough to adapt on its own. Idiots – we are led by idiots.
