Hey troll, did anybody on this thread claim that the DHS is getting 2,700 APCs? Did I miss that one?
Nice try with the red herrings.
Troll? so far the contract says Marines not DHS, and you don’t need to start calling names anyway, my questions are valid and reasonable.
Why do things like this always have to be like a forest fire of red hot passion and wide eyed belief, without any examination?
Did you read the article and it’s feeding the rumors of 2717 MRAPs that “may not end up being wild enough”?
“No wonder speculation is running at fever pitch in some circles, and that leads to wild speculation, which may or may not end up being wild enough. The problem is, with the lack of transparency, oversight and reporting, such speculation, when disputed, can, is and will be used to try to discredit (and ridicule) any who express related concerns, and one that is being so dismissed is a report that DHS has purchased “2,700 light-armored tanks.”
“The vehicles in question aren’t tanks and they aren’t for DHS,” “Running Wolf” blogger Michael Malone counters, along with a link to the procurement contract summary for 2,717 units by the United States Marine Corps. “[U]ntil someone shows me a procurement order for DHS, I don’t buy it.”
