Okay. For all those complaining about this a question.
What do you want done with a 700,000 vehicle, bought and paid for by tax dollars that the military has no use for. Park it somewhere and let it rot? Sell it? To whom?
Objection, misstates the evidence.
Your question has nothing to do with the basic question of whether it is appropriate to arm schools with MRAPs, and all about deflecting attention with an appeal to the wallet.
No sale. I'll stay on target and say giving the school an MRAP is inappropriate, I don't care how much money the government wasted on their toy.

Lets just say military vehicles in schools could somehow be justified which is impossible but I will play for now. First it was a ploy to sell the idea it came at no cost. What do you think maintenance on a vehicle like that will cost? You think they are going to drive it over to jiffy lube for an ok change? This vehicle will. Red to be kept in top running condition, you wanna pick up the tab for that? And what teacher is going to be qualified to drive an mrap when a gun shaped pop tart seems to scare the pants off them?
Give them to the National Guard. Oh, but wait...that's where a lot of these surplus vehicles came from. So why is Obama taking these vehicles away from the Guard and giving them to the police? Hmmm?
No offense, but that's a pretty ignorant question...
Just a crazy thought, but why not give it them to the National Guard?
How about the border patrol?
This is not too complex...
Wow posting from iPhone is just not working out.
Should be “oil change” and needs to be kept in top running condition
Surprises me that Ø didn't find a way to put it in the path of ISIL (tm, by Ø) so they could "find it" and beef up their arsenal.
