I think you’re right.

People better wake up.

When they are on maneuvers the parking lot for their cars is completely full.
There was nothing going on last weekend. Maybe 8-10 cars in the lot.

I believe every 155mm artillery and 120mm tank barrel is made in only 1 factory: the US Army's Watervliet Arsenal.

Hope someone has stepped up security.

“Recently announced deals for Taiwan to purchase 66 F-16 fighter jets and 108 M1A2T Abrams tanks, with deliveries expected in 2026 and 2027, respectively,..”

What’s the rush?

“All that $850 billion in hardware left in Trashcanistan would sure come in handy, now”

Almost like they planned this, ain’t it.

My small stateside Air Force unit in 1965 had a weapon for every man...2 M1911’s for officers, 2 grease guns for senior NCO’s and M 1 Carbines for about 40 enlisted. Viet Nam was heating up and we were ordered to turn them for shipment to the ARVN. Henceforth, we were unarmed.

Usually people take airplanes when they are traveling long distances and leave their cars at the airport. The lot is only full when maneuvers are local, not when they are held at some very long distance.
