Talk:Creighton Abrams

message: There is no mention that the current M1-Abrams tank is named for Creighton Abrams.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.150.135.72 (talk • contribs) 15:11, 10 July 2006.
:That shouldn't be surprising. Creighton Abrams had nothing to do with the tank. That bit of information is already on the M1 Abrams article. --Scottie theNerd 15:33, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have anything against the M1 Abrams, and I was considering relocating it at the beginning of the article, but decided to leave that to you. The tank itself is not directly relevant to Creighton Abrams, and plenty of past leaders have modern weapons or vehicles named after them without being mentioned. Nonetheless, I don't see any problem with the current location of the mention, although I have removed an M1 tank image in one of the past edits. I think we can agree with that. --Scottie theNerd 08:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I think the article has not done justice to Arbam's service in World War II. He was one hell of a tanker and probably among the top one or two American tank aces of the war.

replies: text: Compile a list of reliable sources on tanks of WWII from authoritative experts. My impression was that the Germans had a smaller number of better tanks but hurt their logistics by introducing bigger-and-better models in smaller-and-smaller numbers, while the USA and USSR concentrated on mass production of good but not outstanding models that could be maintained in force in the field. But my impression is from "coffee table" books and TV documentaries, hardly notable reliable sources. Naaman Brown (talk) 14:04, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
