Who would you vote for

[Rev. Rye]

I take it back.

I think I will vote for the tank instead.

But wait, does it meet the three requirements allowed for a president?

be a natural born citizen of the United States; [or, in this case, manufactured in America]
be at least thirty-five years old; [Nothing manufactured before 1976, although since it looks like the photo's in black and white, it may actually qualify]
have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years. [If it saw service overseas before 1997, it can't be president.]

Unfortunately, it looks like it would be ineligible. The T34 was manufactured between 1950-1958, making it old enough, but it was a Soviet tank.

Then I vote for this M36



Natural born citizen, been a permanent resident (in retire) for more than 14 years, and was born somewhere in the 40's

[kılıç_mehmet]

Well, I wouldnt vote at all

But, if I was FORCED to vote for those 8 bags of shit, I would vote this way

Bachman for president, Paul as vice.

If the country is going down hill, might as well have the most bat shit insane ones at the helm...so yeah, I would vote the worst.

But thats only because I was forced to do so... I bet Michelle would love this "forced vote" option, and make it sound like the greatest freedom in America since alabama started forcing people to go to church for their prison term.

Praise god..every knee must bow, every tongue must wag

I think the tank is a good choice. Raskha was never good when it comes to realizing potential, don't pay attention to them.

Natural born citizen, retired, born in the 40s. Perfect. And it's a war hero. It helped end the war in Germany. That's a double plus.

..and to make matters better...once it has blown the fuck out of the capitalists, we can use it to plow the field, protect the citizens, and do general work with.

Just one tank like this is reason for work for many people and trades.

Why must it be a machine of death and conquest when it can be a machine of defense and progressive work?

I vote for the tank

[The Grand Nudger]

Because tanks make terrible farm implements. Soil compaction and clearance are major issues. They're also terrible at defense (a lesson germany learned the hard way). I mean, I like him, he's obviously a top notch guy. I just don't think he's qualified for the job you want done.

Technically she's a tank destroyer, not a tank btw. That image looks to be the 1945 model or later, with the reenforced lower glacis, the steel hat, and the 90mm. Hard to tell though if that's a refurb with the 90mm mount and a 75mm instead.

If you can find a better tank to fit the role of president, then i will gladly vote for it

[The Grand Nudger]

You know, it's completely off topic on the surface, but the M36 I think has something to say about our elections. It was produced (as all tank destroyers were) as a sort of "any peice of armor is better than no armor" response to Germany's extremely superior machinery. Amusing thing was that when all was said and done, tank destroyers were a massive failure. Most german armor went up in flames to aircraft or infantry (and even more commonly, lack of maintenance and abandonment in the field...they couldn't be serviced by the operators or out of the bay). Any answer isn't always better than no answer, apparently.

Deciding which shitbag running for public office might be the least harmful shitbag is a similar decision. All of the options are garbage, vast amounts of resources will nonetheless be devoted to and allocated by one of them, and it's entirely likely that grunts will do all the goddamn work anyway.

(You know what tank destroyers were actually good at btw? Killing grunts, now how fucking ironic is that in the context of this analogy?)

What about the M60 Patton?

It was made in the USA, retired in America in 1997, and still used by other peoples' armies today.

[The Grand Nudger]

One of the earliest truly progressive tank designs. A forerunner of the modern MBT (much like the Soviet T-54 or the designed but never produced Panther 2 series). So at least its progressive.
