WHAT are ALL these Humvees for?

What do you think the shipping cost would be on these?

Is this part of the bailout package?!

These appear to be armored humvees. Maybe our troops in Iraq will finally be getting some protection.

YAY!! I hope they are getting some actual armor!!!!

My husband is in the Army (infantry) so I DO know that everytime they do a field drill or go to another training facility within the state or nearby (which happens A LOT), they transport the vehicle there. Sometimes they are driven, sometimes they are slapped onto a train or truck bed. And you will see mass movements of them usually because whenthey do annual, quarterly drills on other training facilities, they can sent entire battallions at a time to all take part in the same exercises.

I think if we see a movemement of humvees, strykers, or whatever for something other than the usual training, it might be hard to determine if its a "bad" one.

But good catch. i mean, If we a ton of us post this same thing from all over at the same time, then i think we should strap the ol' helmet on just in case, LOL...

It is for a weeklong practice run in L. A. for martial law and mass casualties which is being directed by NorthCom. It is being called Golden Guardian and will last till the 18th.

Who is NorthCom? To understand what you might want to prepare for, make sure you understand the connection between NorthCom and DHS.

Those troops coming into the states are not just doing manevuers they are part of DHS.

They are moving equipment into place for "Golden Guardian."
