They sure do. I would hate to have those breathing down my neck. I checked out the pictures of the one you took photos of in Florida. Really neat. In the picture above, I initially thought those guns had some type of muzzle brake on them. There are two white dashes near the muzzle on each of the three guns. I wonder what those are?

i wondered the same thing. is it a nickname?

i have several other pictures to post but they contain dead soldiers. would it be inappropriate to post them? they are not close up and the soldiers are unidentifiable. just thought i would ask first. the reason i want to post them is for the tanks in the picture.

It has been done before

pjones,
As Steve pointed out, it has been done before, and as long as it is not done in a way that would be disrespectful of the dead soldiers it should not be a problem.
I have posted similar photos in the past and while I'm not 100% comfortable with it, it is a part of history.
