they can be defeated...just ask the Iranians and the Afghans
Vulnerable areas are wheel hubs. A disabled vehicle is then open to fire attack with flammable liquids, or shaped charges attached to critical areas. Hide, jack in the box, pop goes the weasel, di di before air support arrives.
Or just liberate them first for your own use, clean out the armory while you're at it. Witnesses are to be avoided.
I’m a very forgiving & understanding sort. I’ll even be apologetic for the 1.2B rounds, elaborating on training logistics etc.
There’s no excusing this thing. If they’re not putting these on the border, either there’s a whole lot more threats & attacks being shushed up, or they’re really planning on moving against “bitter clinger” types.
patience, grasshoppa
Don’t kid yourself and do not listen to the judas goats that tell you there is nothing to worry about. That the ammunition is for training and it is for this and that. These are the same type of individuals that told the Jews in Germany in the ‘30s they had nothing to fear from Hitler rising to power. That ammunition is intended to be used against people like you and me if I am still alive when they decide to move. I am getting long in the toth and won’t be around much longer. I would prepare myself both mentally and physically for this.
I’ll be curious to see if there is any change in the progression of DHS after Mitt is elected. I’m not optimistic.
I believe the ammo order count is up to 1.4 billion rounds now. They ordered another 200 million rounds last week, I believe. (Not that anyone is keeping count. :-) )
Are the tires bulletproof? Just wondering........
I don’t want to take DHS’s side, and we all see the nefarious purposes of such vehicles. They should have the posse comitatus act shoved down their throats.
But, what if DHS has decided that they are going to be unable to protect America’s cities to the extent that massive upheaval, in the face of forced mass evacuations are necessary? Let’s face it, we are grossly unprepared to have a dozen of our cities “dirty nuked” simultaneously. What if Iran, or some other terrorist entity came through Mexico with dozens of dirty radiological devices, and detonated several devices in a dozen of our largest cities? The resulting casualties from just the panic to get out would be massive. Of course the economic costs would devastate our already sick economy. I don’t have a good feeling about a civilian agency having such weaponry, but does it really matter, if they are already planning to violate the posse comitatus act, openly? I am not sure of the armour on these MRAP’s, but armor does provide some level of protection against radiation, especially the kind you would expect from a dirty nuke attack.
Makes me wish I had a M5 Stuart or better, a Sherman Jumbo parked in my driveway. B-P
There are more than a couple of weaknesses on the MRAP, and when the need arises I will share them...
You talk tough and assess the situation. You know what to do. You’re patriots and “filthy” Tea Partiers and Constitutionalists.
You make me feel safe and hopeful that we can beat this evil, monstrous, not-condign son and puppet of the beast.
The 'paranoid ones' are after the vast right wing conspiracy members. (Republican citizens)
wheeled coffins......oh well.
