Masters programs involve being published, even those from the NWC (Which does not offer such a specific program, by the way).

Asked my dad... who has the exact same degree, He is not published , went to the same college, and got the same degree...huh, the closest he says to publication is he had a course that he had to write "almost a thesis a week" this of course possibly be a exaggeration but thats the way he put it.
i then checked a list of graduates of UNSWC, and did searches on them with publications, there quite a lot of them without publications......hmmm

Oh, good luck changing your treads every five minutes in that case. Or having actual armor on your tank.

Besides, my shells move at 1.07 miles per second. I think the speed advantage goes in the attacker's favor.

Might as well get a wheeled vehicle, if the tank is already that light.

Le Mars has a fleet of old, rugged, reliable Chieftain tanks. We're thinking about replacing them.

Well, your dad's full of it. I spoke with the admissions office this morning, and they confirmed that any program they offer which is considered a Masters (Of which there are only three) require a published thesis in one of the school's publications. Therefore, they require to be published.

Secondly, they offer no Masters in Military and Strategic Studies, only an undergraduate study in Strategic Theory.

Thirdly, all Masters level programs they offer are Flag Officer courses.

The feeble M1 Abrams tank is now being phased out in favour of the MF-12 "Behemoth".

Only 100 MF-12s are being built for now, however each one is two stories high.

Ha ha. As well as the capacity of 5 or so of our old tanks, they also have enough armor to make up for their size.

A single tallboy or grand slam bomb and it is all over. Hell, a single Mk 84 2,000lbs bomb could kill it with ease.
