I guess some folks have never heard of combat engineers,like the
SEABEEs.
I recall the Indiana blizzard of 78 where the National Guard used
their M-
60 tanks to pull semi-trucks out of ditches on I-65,after they had
jacknifed on ice and unplowed snow. The tanks were the only vehicles
available that had the traction on the ice,the normal wreckers with
tires
couldn't do it. IIRC,an M-60 weighs over 50 tons.

Tanks!?

I guess some folks have never heard of plowing, sanding and salting
icy roads.

jsw

when the roads are that icy...the plows, sanders and salters cant get
out of the yard.

Been there..done that.
