>From earlier posts to sci.military, I was under the impression
that we did not lose any M1's in the war.  Was I wrong?  Just
what were our losses?

The reason that I am asking is this:  Manhattan Town Center,
our local mall, has a display that has pictures taken by soldiers
from the 1st Division headquartered at Ft Riley.   One of thes
pictures is captioned:

"M1 Abrams destroyed located in Kuwait near Safwan Iraq"

It sure looked like an M1 to me, but then, I am no expert.
This photo was taken by SSG. LEAFGREEN (not sure if that is
first and last name or just last)  Company D 1-5 FA.
His address and phone # are on the picture, but I dont think
that he will be expecting calls from all over netland on this
pict.

Whats the real story on our tank losses?

thanks
