    While this is certainly a fair observation, I feel obligated to point out that the meme is a bit of a shitpost - what’s depicted is actually tank desant, a formerly-common practice (before widespread motorization of armies) wherein infantry would ride on the tank into battle, and then dismount as soon as the actual shooting started. Beats walking!

    … assuming no ambushes occur to splatter the tank with infantry chunky salsa…

      Also assuming you stay clear of the smashy bits of the tank.

      Don’t get degloved by the turret ring.
