While I think it’s most likely those guardsmen are getting ready to deploy and might have still been stateside when the picture was taken, the Iraqi military was definitely still using Sherman’s during the Iran-Iraq war... if they used them when they invaded Kuwait and the Kuwaiti’s disabled one, keeping it as a museum piece on display wouldn’t be unheard of.
they seriously using a sherman over there? not going to lie thats pretty cringe
It's got to be some sort of museum or something
why would there be a tank museum with a sherman in kuwait in the middle east, unless they are visiting the states or somewhere in the eu
