Oh man. This becomes like a philosophical thinking exercise.

Do you steal the tank, and have the GREATEST BAR STORY IN THE HISTORY OF EVER, (with the caveat being that not a single person would ever believe your story)

or

Do you not risk government and military personnel hunting you, stay safe, and just take uber home (with the caveat being that you're a huge pussy who has no exciting bar stories that anybody want to hear)?

Decisions decisions....

Military vehicles generally don’t have keys for ignition. Usually it’s just a button.

Do with this information what you will.

The security system for these vehicles tends to be dudes with guns though.

Only at the main gate usually. The motor pools are unguarded.

i can’t imagine tanks are that intuitive when it comes to driving them

Driving a tracked vehicle is simple. Driving one well is difficult.

It has two levers, one for the right track, one for the left track. And a brake.

Thank you God bless

Firetrucks too, so I've been told.
