Unfortunately most of the people I knew who could answer this question are now passed on. However, my husband said the phrase “sack you back to a tank” triggered a memory. He said that military people who worked out of the line of fire could be threatened, if they performed poorly at their jobs, with being sent back to the front lines if they didn’t shape up. Thus the saying, “sack you back to a tank” could be referring to being sent to tank duty at the front lines for doing a bad job.
This is only speculation, mind you. Try as I did, I couldn’t find a reference to it either, Norman.
Thank you so much for the insight, Cindy!
