    Merkavas

    Ok, kinda related, but why did they name a fucking tank the Markava? When in Jewish mysticism, merkavas are like… Flaming chariots people ascend up to Heaven on.

    Like, at least use the name Merkava for an airplane or a space shuttle or something.

      It kinda fits when you think about how many tank crews are getting merc’d and having their souls sent out of the burning wreckage straight to their demiurge
