The tank should have been a Sherman. Not everyone would have got the joke. But tankers would have.

being accepted without skepticism.

The Mk. V Panther was armed with a high velocity L/50 75mm gun. Any kid who ever built scale models would likely know that fact.

Ambrose was too starry eyed and flag-draped to be a true historian, I think.

It would have been fun for the artist to draw a World War II-era Sherman tank instead, just to poke fun at Trump's military ineptitude.

He makes a good living doing political cartoons for other newspapers. I'm thinking he must be getting offers now from many, many more. Maybe the New Yorker cover soon???

and contribute to the national defense for a few years, either in Vietnam or a Cold War posting, instead of actively avoiding the opportunity to put on a uniform. And along the way you meet and learn how to live and work with those Black and Brown and Native American and Filipino people you rail against and hate and now cage.

Since the Trump fans have no good defense for what the photo of the 2 dead migrants shows they are trying to claim that the photo was "staged" because the bodies look "too clean." The fact that they were still dead is the important part which eludes them.

Then again, one can never underestimate the Jim Jones-like devotion the Chumpkins have for him (even though he couldn't care less about them).

If hard proof of incestuous activities were to somehow come out, you can bet some televangelist would compare him to Kind David.

And the Chumpkins would buy it.
