Fabulous thread.

My questions: do the historians here feel that certain personal qualities are common to all outstanding military leaders? If so, which?

Technological question.

First let me check if my understanding is correct. In the First Gulf War American tanks were able to dominate the numerically superior Iraqi tank forces because of very high one shot kill percentage. This seems to imply that armour on a tank isn't effective against modern main battle tanks.

Will we ever again see a situation like the Russian Front in World War 2 where astonished Panzer commanders saw their shells bounce harmlessly off T-34s?

How important will armour be on AFVs in the future?

I don't know what a SWAG is but that's very helpful feedback, thank you.
