Remember that TFG had big problems with the Ford aircraft carrier--the latest and best USN warship? He told the Navy to go back to steam-powered catapualts instead of the electromagnetic ones they were pioneering. Navy ignored him.
Just imagine what he'll think of the new Abrams tank the Army is getting. It's a hybrid--I guess on the model of a prius though this doesn't give details. Presumably the diesel (rather than gas turbine) drives a generator to the battery which feeds electric motors. Advantages in fuel consumption and a "silent" mode of operation.
Disadvantages, which the TFG will note: it's new and therefore will having bugs.
