Back in the day, I was leading a small, 5 tank convoy, through the countryside in Germany, when my trailing tank commander radioed that a crazy person in a Mercedes was tailgating him and acting stupid.

Since we were late to the other part of the training area, I didn't want to stop, so I told the TC to just swing his main gun around and point it at him.

He did and comrade in the Mercedes backed off about a 1/2 kilometer.....

True story ..... however, a word of advice to young Army officers ... don't give orders like that ....
