Scourge of the Primitives, in service to humanity

I don't know the answers but I posted some links at FR

Yeah, I saw that, but the problem is that of perception.

One can read that one tank was 52 tons, and another tank "only" 26 tons, but that doesn't mean excresence to the average person, who understands only that one tank is twice the size of the other.

One is looking for a human, not a statistical, version of such weapons.

This is why the question about the British Centurion tank, the only tank I've ever seen in real life in "action;" something with which one can compare other tanks.

From the radio address by King George VI, given to the people of the British Empire on December 25, 1939, when things were starting to go badly:

".....and I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year, 'Give me a light so that I may tread safely into the unknown.'

"And he replied, 'Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God.  That shall be to you better than a light and safer than a known way'....."
