61,500 lbs? That would leave a crater.

... lawmakers have tried to stop the U.S. Army from giving logistics contracts to companies linked to Afghan insurgents ...

Much like liberals in the United States who have also been using our own money to fight us for decades.

a massive "vehicle-borne improvised explosive device,"

Wasn't an IED something were you took a dud artillery shell, replaced the trigger with the receiver from a garage door opener and used that as a roadside bomb? At over 30 tons it doesn't sound the slightest bit "improvised".

“lawmakers have tried to stop the U.S. Army from giving logistics contracts to companies linked to Afghan insurgents”

Good God,, I had no idea we were fighting so brutally. This is total war! We are seriously considering not hiring the enemy to run our logistics? Whats next, nuclear attack?
