By any reasonable technical definition, an AFV is by nature, any vehicle designed to move troops to or around the battlefield, while protecting them from enemy attack, that also allows attacks on the enemy to be prosecuted from within said vehicle.

Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or examples:
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.”
—Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
