This is outrageous BS. Even in RVN, we shipped back most of our equipment, including expended Arty brass. I know because I helped ship a lot of it.

Given the scrap yards in SE Asia and elsewhere, the scrap metals alone would pay for the shipping.

Indeed it is BS. The government is not thinking as usual. If they let a private entrepreneur do it for them, he would be in Iraq selling back surplus equipment to anyone in the region or even in America, and voila’.

I am sure plenty of Americans would not be unhappy having the opportunity to buy uparmored HMMV, but, you see, it is not PC for us to have opportunities, we are to become peasants.
