Pentagon giving away 13,000 armored trucks


Well, looks like our local LEOs will be getting a veritable cookie jar full of tools to violate our Constitutional and civil rights with -- compliments of our mighty military machine!

If they have them, they will use them. There are plenty of stories about local SWAT teams in APV's and full tactical gear rolling up on people's lawns to serve warrants for traffic and other non-violent offenses.

It only gets worse from here. Much worse! If you have some food or other things stored, look for one of these to pay a visit, filled with a big bunch of fun-luvin' fellas! :taped:

It'd be cool if they had a lottery to give these out to the citizens.

I have to admit... there's a certain degree of envy. I'd love to have one for myself... or two... or three... :thumb:

And now we taxpayers have to figure how we are going to pay for the maintenance and upkeep of these vehicles.

Not much of a "gift" if you ask me….

I don't think they'll provide internet access in your FEMA camp, will they?

If they do, by all means, let us know :thumb:

These things have not "outlived their usefulness" as the article states. Rather, replacements will be purchased for our next war. These things need to be relocated to National Guard armories or put into dry storage for military use only. It's not like the rest of the world is going to develop something more advanced any time soon.

Well, according to the article, they're being *given* to local LE departments upon request, just like many other the military vehicles are and have been.

APC's are intimidating, but only before they meet an abattisement. Then they're just impotent. and if push comes to shove, they can also be greeted by his brother, backroute abattisement, and his cousin, deadfall. I grow my own APC defenses.

Just sayin' is all. :thumb:

I thought they were "terr'ists." At least that's what the last two Presidents told me.

Sure they could. Maybe not alive, but they could certainly hold millions of people.

They do make interesting "greeters" at an ECP (Entry Control Point)... *shrugs*

I couldn't disagree more. WE paid for them, and the government has a fiduciary responsibility to US. They should be sold to civilians at auction, and the proceeds applied to the federal debt. Anything less is a double betrayal.

Kind of like giving someone your cat when you move.

 

[Fool's Errand]

I believe this is just a cover story to allow the distribution of these assets across the United States in preparation for whats coming once the other shoe drops. Call me crazy but, this crap stinks.

It wouldn't be a FEMA camp then would it. The government couldn't control a few thousand bad apples after Katrina ........or the LA riots. The government doesn't have anymore power than the people allow......our army is made up of our brothers and sisters.

This conversation is ridiculas.......anyway it's time for me to grill steaks and chill some beer...yep life is tough.
