There's a great powerpoint set that shows one of those strip mine excavators
that picked up a bulldozer and it got lodged in the conveyor belt where the
buckets dump at the top of their rotation. You might be able to find it
searching for "where's my dozer?"

First, read the pertinent data from Sluggy Freelance. (He created the
killer rabbit.) Then see author John Ringo's Posleen War series of
books. Wunnerful stuff, and BunBun shows up to kick some ass.

For le piece de resistance, read _Ghost_. Deeeeeelicious.

For a light, joyous read, try David Drake's _Hammer's Slammers_, too.

books online.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sluggy_Freelance gives context.
