Shipment meant to support Egypt's fight against terrorism, U.S. officials say ___ The first shipment of U.S. Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles arrived in Egypt Thursday.

The 762 armored vehicles were provided to the Egyptian military at no cost as part of the Pentagon's Excess Defense Articles program, according to a statement from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo.

Bet you a bag of donuts we'll be fighting someone somewhere who are using this very same equipment.

762 of them huh? I think you are right. ISIS will have some of them soon. Maybe not all, but I'm sure they will appreciate it.

” the Pentagon’s Excess Defense Articles program”

Our tax dollars at work...

for a foreign country.

We taxpayers could use them here in the US.

MRAPs cost us between $500,000 and $1,000,000 each.

What the hell - just give them away.

Our grand kids and their kids can pick up the tab so our politicians can big time it and pat themselves on the back.

Obama is stripping down our military and turning it into just another democrat Affirmative Action wealth redistribution program anyway.

Excess Defense Articles

Sounds more DOD than Pentagon.

... provided to the Egyptian military at no cost as part of the Pentagon's Excess Defense Articles program, ...

Excess? Excess? 762 excess MRAPs? Heck, don't give them away, I'll buy one of those suckers. It was my tax dollars that made them and they just throw them away left and right, no wonder our taxes are out of control.

I'm no expert, but didn't Egypt have the biggest protest in the history of the world to overthrow the mooselimb brotherhood government barkie installed?

I'm shocked to see any support of Egypt by barkie's administration, but I'll take anything I can get.

Barkie is a real piece of s-— isn’t he?

[Iron Munro]

Sounds more DOD than Pentagon.

Usually the State Department manages to weasel it's way into these give-aways too.

[Iron Munro]

Within two years only a small number of these MRAPs will still be running.

The rest will be on their way to the recyclers to be shredded into scrap.

Goes without saying...      :)

in 6+ months these will belong to ISIS

thx 0bama

Forget it.

We cant be trusted with surplus mil equipment, ya know?

Only third world “soldiers” who wear mirrored sunglasses with cheap epaulets can be.

Not us proles who paid for it.

The military wnt allow U.S. Citizens to own most obsolete inventory fighter aircraft either, even though there’s a massive market for them.

But that doesnt stop them from handing the same aircraft over to Above Suspicion governments like say, Honduras...that well known bastion of rectitude.

AT NO COST!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell????????????????????

[faithhopecharity]

This bring the very same Egyptian government obama’s been trying to run out of town for its audacity in successfully unseating obama’s Muslim brotherhood terrorist murder gangster friends. There’s more to this big give- away then weVe been told

[faithhopecharity]

And I agree that these weapons systems will “somehow” be arranged to “fall into the hands of Obama’s Islamonazi terrorist murder gang friends.
