A battle tank is only as effective as its gun, and for the Stryker vehicle, that’s the M68 105mm cannon. This episode delves into how it's manufactured, along with the parachute, a prestigious medal, and a stretcher. The idea of a parachute is simple: a canopy traps a large volume of air, creating enough resistance to dramatically reduce your terminal velocity. The thousand-ounce bars of pure silver bullion used to manufacture this prestigious honor are worth $30,000 apiece. In search and rescue, getting the victims swiftly and safely to medical attention is critical.
