Just look at that. This truck is taller than a used kid (10 years old). I assume the truck can run over pretty much any other age but probably the driver might be able to see older kid's heads. Or we could teach our kids to jump to school rather than walk. If you see a truck, jump and make eye contact before jumping while crossing the street. Or we could tell our kids to never go outside until they are 21.

You can buy a tank cheaper in USA than you can buy a sedan in Turkey.

By tank I mean a tank. A real tank. Used by Israel and Syria in the seven day war.

Yeah.

I guarantee that tank has better visibility than the vehicle pictured

A bit pedantic, but technically correct.

Well they actually put thought and careful planning into the tank.

Yeah, because if you don't see in front of a tank, you might fall into a ditch or hit a landmine.

Which gives me an idea...
