The wife and I just did a quick trip up to SW Virgina for a couple of days of hiking. Along the way up and back we saw dozens of military vehicles being moved south. Mostly, it was Bradley's, Humvees and MRAPs, but there were a couple of M1A1's, too. Could be a coinkydink, but the last time I saw this much military hardware being moved south was about two months prior to the Iraq invasion. Before that it was during the first Gulf War. Something is up....

Just as an FYI, the Army is consolodating their requisition locations down near Fayetteville, NC. I saw a little snippet on WRAL news a month or two ago. Personally, I think it's a horrible idea (putting all of your eggs in one basket) but then again, Shinseki's not the brightest bulb in the lamp store.

* Oops. Meant to say Gates, not Shinseki. It’s too early in the morning.

They sure pick an odd way to go to Fayetteville. What I saw was traveling south on I-75 and I-81 in Tennessee and SW Virginia. IOW, going more or less away from NC. I suppose they could swing through Atlanta, but I don't know why they would when I-40/I-26 goes towards Charlotte from that area. I did see quite a few trucks carrying damaged Humvee's north. Most appeared to have had their wheels and undercarriage removed.
