    Own an M1 Abrams for home defense

    Its the “Own a musket for home defense” copypasta but changed to tanks.

    I own an M1 Abrams for base defense, just as the Founding Fathers intended!
    
    4 T-90s break into my hangar.
    
    I yell “What the devil?!” As I grab my composite helmet and an M829A1 round.
    
    I blow a golf ball sized hole in the first T-90, they explode on the spot.
    
    I fire HEAT-FS at the second T-90, and it misses because the T-90 dodged and nails the Warrior IFV next door.
    
    I load an experimental APFSDS round and yell “Tally Ho, lads!” It over-penetrates the first T-90 and destroys the other right behind it, the sound and shrapnel sound off base alarms.
    
    I fix the engineering dozer and charge the last terrified T-90, flipping it into a ditch. The tank runs out of gas while waiting for the MPs to arrive because the crew’s shock is impossible to treat.
    
    Just as the Founding Fathers intended.
