Don't destroy the tank, some shells get into enemy hands.
Outcome 2:
Destroy the tank and 30 Iraqis. Probably creates another 100 people who will want to kill Americans.

Outcome 1 you over look. That same ammo would be used to blow up and more than likely kill more people than just the 30 people sarming the vehicle, but in this case it was not 30 People killed it was far less.
So the ammo goes to kill convoy's, Car bombs, traps...
resulting in more than likely far more deaths than 30.
