So why don't we have turretless light tanks with big guns in the U.S. Army today?
1.) we are arrogant and stupid
2.) we disbanded tank destroyer branch
3.) we dont know actual military history and sound practices
These videos will solve the first and last listed problems, since we lack both a CAVALRY and a TANK DESTROYER branch of dedicated professionals who would by institutional excellence keep sight of WHAT RIGHT LOOKS LIKE.

The Germans back in 1936 realized that you can get a bigger gun with more armor on any given tracked TANK chassis if you are turretless; such that you could even use LIGHT tanks as the basis for their STUGs. Today, with the threat from precision guided munitions (PGMs) growing, we need every ounce of armor and small size evasiveness we can muster.
30, 000 Allied tanks fell prey to the turretless STUGs in WW2. Even more thousands of our men died when STUG shells blasted their fighting positions and buildings they were trying to take cover in or behind. One would think that this PROVEN tank formula would warrant our attention and emulation except for Reason #1 getting in the way.

Commander Ian Fleming RNVR 1939-51 wrote the James Bond 007 books/movies for the Information Research Division (IRD) of MI6-SIS who he worked for as a Master Spy under journalistic cover from 1933-39 and 1945-1964 when he was murdered (as concluded by legendary investigative reporter, Jim Marrs to me) to prevent him publicly condemning the Warren Commission white wash of the CIA's group ambush murder of his friend, President John F. Kennedy.
