Yes, as I went along I thought.. what if this one had already seen some severe action in 1956? And as the IDF needed more tanks in 197 they dug up this one from their storage..

No disputing that. The M-50s were a very resilient platform and served with various Lebanese militia units all through the 80's. Can't beat a classic, as Jason Statham says.
