I get the feeling you think the tank is 98 years old.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

To be fair...

veteran Ken Turner used a Sherman tank, one of the most widely used tanks used by the US and its western allies against the Nazis in World War II

...the tank is WWII-era as well as its driver, so it's at least 68 years old. (According to Wikipedia, the M4 Sherman was produced between 1942 and 1957.) Not 98, but definitely an antique.
