What about the other 2 Vehicles. The guy talking seems to think Nobama is gonna put the squeeze on us.

There was one that kinda looks like a cross between the humvee and a stryker sort of.

The two vehicles with small gun turrets are Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs), which entered service in the 1980's. Their main armament is a 25mm chain gun, with a 7.62 mm machine gun and TOW missiles.

The box like tracked vehicles at the rest stop look like support vehicles based on the M113 Armored Personnel Carrier (APC), a 1960's design that saw service in Viet Nam.

These vehicles are in commercial transport and are not associated with military personnel so as to be ready for action.
