     I've heard that although the US has the ability to have reactive armor,
we've chosen not to utlilize it on the vast majority of our tanks.  This 
desision was due to our tactic of having tanks in the midst of infantry from 
time to time.  Although reactive armor DOES protect tanks, it would play HELL 
with nearby infantry!
