The conclusion that the 2,717 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles are for the Department of Homeland Security is false. Instead, they are part of a contract award to the US Navy and will be subsequently used by the United States Marine Corps.
A search for M67854-07-D-5032 at the Federal Procurement Data System reveals that all contract under this number are for the United States Navy.
Thats just shell games. A stoke of a pen could have them transferred from the USMC to DHS. They do it all the time. ATF got their former USMC OV-10 Broncos that way. Customs got a Cobra.
If anyone EVER says we are buying lots of shiny cool stuff for the USMC, just smile at the clown. They are even a little bitter that they actually have to feed the corps.
