I'd just like to point out that is an OLD Russian made tank, and there are very few countries that have the Javelin system ...
The Javelin is a missile that will "pop up" right before impact, striking the target from the top, where they are weak.
The M1 is A LOT stronger than that POS.
thats a javelin....i had the option to chose that job as well. That Rocket is on our side so no worries about that!
still, it my major fear.
But i love to go swinning/surfing and staying under water for as long as i can.
weird huh?
i'd say, not die in an embarrassing position, like kidnapping somebody, or while sitting on the toilet etc.
I'd prefer to die in a heroic way. You know, take a bullet for someone in one of those mall shootings, be the one that rescues ten people from the burning house just to die myself, or push the kid out of the way and be hit by the bus instead (a la Stranger Than Fiction, you know..).
Something like that. Or, or.. be lost at sea. There's no mess to clean up, no body to identify - easy for the ones you leave behind.
We never get to choose, tho'

I'm not sure how we would know that.
All we know is the prelude to drowning. And from what I've seen, it sure doesn't look peaceful to me.
These days, dying inside a tank is fairly quick if the hull is breached.
The introduction of the SABOT round changed things a bit. Let's just say, that within one second of a breach, your body will be hamburger due to the number of fragments bouncing around on the inside. You won't feel a thing.
Or you could be like the goat during testing that was sucked out the exit hole all in a fraction of a second.
Having been Armor before I went aviation, I've been on both ends so to speak. Tanks these days are well built compared to a few years ago. However, if breached, it isn't pretty nor will the agony last long which is good.
Yes Drill Sergeant!
Make the other SOB die for his. Agree with GEN Patton.Besides, dying for your country is stupid. Make the other guy die for his.
Have a link? I would be curious as to how they ascertained this.
Well, I said doing something that I love. That definitely is included.I prefer doing someone I love...
Yes it is. However, all tanks have exploitable vulnerabilities.
Regarding the Javelin, the top of the tank is the least protected and has the thinnest armor. The Javelin takes advantage of this fact by modifying it's attack profile to hit from above.
Like Miki Feher did. one moment he was smiling, the next he died.
(I watched the tragedy on live TV, I would not describe it the same way as it is on wikipedia)

I would not want to die without seeing the person I love before I go. It would be pretty sweet, like having a preview before going to heaven.
Depends on what you mean by that. If you mean in a hospital bed, then sure. Everyone is prepared for something to happen.
If you mean suddenly while everyone you live is around you, say on Christmas or someone's birthday, then no. It's shocking for everyone else. Well, it's still good for you, but it's bad for your loved ones.
Do you swim often? The feeling you get from not getting enough oxygen is absolute torture.
I don't want to die from skydiving. If your parachute doesn't open, what do you do for the next minute? This is particularly true if you're jumping in tandem. What do you say to the other guy?
I want to have a stroke. It's painless and from what I hear from people who've survived them, pretty trippy- like LSD.
I agree, from what I've heard the gag reflex that ensues when a person is drowning is excruciating to experience.
Snort."open the emergency chute"
Having parachuted a few times, this answer definitely tickled me.
FWIW, if both cutes failed, there is still a small chance that you might live.
It was mildly tongue in cheek. Hence the YouTube reference.
I just don't ever want anyone to be eluded to the idea that they can't die just because they're in a tank. See above.

I love skydiving. I did it for three summers. It's a blast! I had a few scares, but nothing I couldn't handle. One of these days I'll start doing it again.

thats hen your buddy swoops down and grabs you and you use his chute haha
If the other guy is a good looking girl:
If the other guy is an unatractive girl:
If the other guy is a dude:
Yep, the fall doesn't hurt at all if your chute don't open.
It's just that damn sudden stop at the end.
I haven't done it in a long time. I've been thinking about jumping with the wife when we visit the states next time. Get it on film. Fun times!
I assume that they have some good drop zones around Chicago. True?

Having watched my father suffer through them, it may be painless, but it's truly horrifying while conscious (which most stroke victims are).
This is correct, your brain pumps some chemicals into your blood stream that do give you a euphoric like feeling. It's also supposed to be the reason why people think they've seen god when they're brought back to life.

Um....your erection is hurting my back.
