As noted by another poster, there are tank witches. Eila's sister Aurora is one in World Witches canon, and in OWaW, Darjeeling Bishop wanted to be one until her flight aptitude intervened. (It hasn't come up on screen, but Darjy is in fact dating a Liberion tank witch, and the two of them are likely to get some trouble from General Patton if he finds out. :)

Ah, the Gurkhas; because the British forces needed a unit that could make even the Highland regiments say, "Those boys are right hard."

I like to think that the Einheri personifications of WWII's two HMS Gurkhas (a Tribal-class destroyer sunk off Norway in 1940, and her replacement, an L-class destroyer sunk in the Med two years later) are jointly and severally barred from a number of pubs in greater New Yokosuka for excessive headbutting.
