If the military hardware is already bought and paid for by “We the people”, why are they selling it back to us?

I am a County Commissioner in a small county with approx. 24,000 full time residents and during tourist season the population jumps to 40,000. Recently our county “inherited” a military type “assault vehicle” equipped with everything short of the machine gun mounted in the turret. (At least that is what we have been told, perhaps the machine gun is somewhere unknown to us.) The vehicle just showed up one day with none of aware it was coming.

What the hell does this small tourist area need with a vehicle (weapon) like that?
