This worries me two ways -
ReplyDelete1 - they will be used in the US against us so Obama can see the coming storm or
2 - they will be sent in riot gear to a gun fight outside the US - anyone remember Beirut folks?

OK, not that I'm an optimist or anything but there is one possible logical explaination. This IFB is for Fort Leavenworth, home of the largest of the domestic military prisons. Maybe this is equipment for prison guards for when the Gitmo prisoners are transfered there full of hope and looking for a change of scenery.
ReplyDeleteJust sayin.
