I have a feeling I'm asking a naive question here, but I keep hearing about
how temperatures can reach 130 degrees or more inside of U.S. tanks. Given
the effects of such heat on battlefield performance, what on earth is the
problem with putting a 200-pound cooler into a 60-ton tank? It defies
reason, as far as I can see.
