Does Toyota make tanks?

If this was a US military driver it would have never made the news. Happens far too often, especially in CONOPS (continuous operations) exercises, but we don't normally venture outside of training areas in our training.

Not many training areas on the Korean Peninsula.

Totally. LOL

During my time as a driver, while stationed in Germany, I have 1 VW Beetle, 1cow, 14 trees and 2 fences on my "destroyed" list. The car was parked in a space that was a no parking zone for the very reason that we used it as a turn, a sharp turn with zero visibility.

The cow was a result of a broken fence (not my doing, LOL). The cow ventured out onto the trail we used for "high speed battle position change" drills. Going around a corner, at night, buttoned up, doing about 30 mph in a 70 ton tank... Not a good ending for the cow.

What kind of marinade do you use on meat THAT tenderized?

Whatever is used when you make steak tartar. LOL

I really did feel bad. I saw the thing at the very last second. Perhaps I could have tried to stop... But when you put the brake on the floor in a M-1 Tank, it STOPS. At best, the rest of the crew would have been heavily bruised (remember, the ONLY soft thing in or on a tank is the crew) and at worst dead. I recieved the worst shiner of my life from a M-1. This was when I was a gunner. The only way the gunner can see the outside world at night (when we did 90% of our work) is through the sights. So I had my face in the eyepiece. Newbie driver hits the breaks, HARD. Tanks stops... Crew keeps moving forward until they meet something to stop them. In this case, my face hitting the GPS. The TC's chest hitting the .50 cal machine gun mount and the loader hitting the radio mounts.

Oy.

It's a good thing that tank didn't go north of the border. Another
Korean War. Can you imagine explaining to Kim Jong Il that it was a accident.
