My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Huh, I've driven a truck about the size of that army truck. 13-15 ton limit? The one I drove, even loaded up with stuff that would fall off if I turned too fast (and none ever did), wasn't that hard not to flip, even with 90 degree turns. And that doesn't look like a super sharp turn. Someone going a wee bit too fast, methinks.

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
want to see big trucks?
I worked in a quarry for the best part of a year.....HUGE MACHINES!
I'll go back and get photos one day.
You mean the mining off highway trucks:
Halpacks
Fun thing laying cable and dodging these monsters. They would literally crush even that truck lying on its side.
Here's a grape harvester:
EDIT: The above is a grape harvester, this is a raspberry harvester:
They look really odd when you see one going down the side of the road.
