12. OK, tanks are getting "knocked out", but here's the important point....
The casualties are the lowest in any Army vehicles, despite how often the Abrams is targeted — about 70% of the more than 1,100 tanks used in Iraq have been struck by enemy fire, mostly with minor damage.

When a Humvee or Bradley gets knocked out, the casualties are much higher. So "at least" 15 soldiers have been killed as crew members on Abrams, how does that compare to Humvees or Bradleys?
