May be? Really May?
What on earth does the DHS need with 2700 Armored Personell vehicles and a couple billion rounds 9 mil and 40 ammo? To collect taxes? Really? Do we have 2700 of these vehicles in combat?
I believe there were about 20,000 MRAPs built by mulitple OEMS including Oshkosh, Force Protection, Navistar and General Dynamics.
As I read the blog story, the Homie Sec vehicles are not new procurements but conversion of military units.
Given the drawdown in Iraq, I’m sure there is plenty of inventory available.
Hooty, DHS don’t collect taxes.
Knowing the dems, these 2700 Light Armored vehicles, were supposed to go to Iraq or Afganistan and were cut. Now some dem friend/contributor is selling them instead to DHS.
DHS with tanks is not unlike Iraq with tanks, just made really great fireworks displays. Also we need to remember that nobama really really likes to anounce things like this if for no other reason that to stir us up, he’s done it many times and no much ever came of them.
But hey, freaking out can be fun too.
