and why in a time of shrinking budgets, fewer combat troops, and uncertain types of future wars, are we spending money on a new truck? sounds like more corrupt decision making from a corrupt pentagon. (as a former armor officer it pains me to see how low the perfume princes have sunk.)

per vehicle truck price must fall under $250,000...

Are you kidding! Better have an espresso machine and an RO system in it.

I think really it would need to be equipped with a Mr. Fusion as well.

That’ll look good coming down my street if Obama is re-elected.
