We may not have the massive defence budget of the US, but we’re the ones who can operate a radio inside a tank while relieving our bowels in a sanitary fashion. Some of the first fighting vehicles to have toilets were actually old bombers from World War 2, so why it took us this long to get one in an armoured fighting vehicle I couldn’t say. That prestige is the result of a long evolution that took dozens of models and numerous hard-fought battles. So while the option is there, I’m sure the lads sharing the tight space with you would much prefer you hold it in. Today, US Army tanks are among the best in the world. Incidentally, our Warrior troop carrier also has a toilet in the troop compartment, but that only has a bag that sits and stinks up the tank. Other than the excellent tea making faculties. Now you understand why the Brits have the best modern Main Battle Tank. It flushes the waste out under the tank, and can be used when hatches are closed. As someone actually training to use the Best of British armour, I can confirm the Challenger 2 has a toilet under the Loader’s seat.
