Over 700 military tanks were used by the U.S. in the Vietnam War, and while they all ran defense, that defense didn’t always look the same. Case in point seen here, as these soldiers enjoy leisure time reading and relaxing (as much as was possible in the middle of a war, anyway) with their tank. Frequently, many of these war tanks were used in a way in which they were stationed in the front of military bases as a hefty line of defense. Most didn’t see a lot of action, so soldiers did what they could to pass the time on their shifts in the sweltering heat.
