I found a place that will 3-D-print a replica of a tank cannon round. Should I get one?

The vendor can emblazon the replica munition with the regimental crest a tanker served under. He can do multiples if you served with more than one unit.

This would look good in my library/office/army memorabilia display.

What do you think?

Overindulgence?

1. I have a friend who drove tanks during the Gulf War, he would love it

What is your connection to tanks?

[Aristus]

2. I was a tanker, too. I served in the Gulf in 1991.

But my unit didn't get sent into combat; the ground war ended so quickly.

4. Kurt did several tours in that part of the world. ..

then finished his twenty in the 'guard. His back is really messed up from the stiff ride of the tanks, but he loved every minute of it.
Thanks for your service, Aristus.

5. That's very nice, thank you.

I actually like my status as a liberal veteran. It knocks the slats out of those "REAL patriotic 'Murricans vote R'publican!" types.

6. Having DFT call him a "sucker" and a "loser" did it for him

He votes Dem or independent now. No more GOP.

7. If only all veterans felt the same.

3. I say go for it. When I was a kid, a friend had a 60mm

mortar round sitting next to the fireplace. I assume it was inert, but I could have been wrong.

8. Go for it.

There was a scale model company releasing 1:1 tank rounds from WWII but I can't find any at my on line sources. I think they sold out.
