Oshkosh Gets One Quarter Of A Billion Dollars To Build M-ATV ambulances
unhappycamper note: Since the ‘Pentagon’ (DoD? Gannett?) has ‘requested’ that I only post one paragraph from articles on Army Times, and Airforce Times, To keep in that same (new) tradition, I will also do the same for for articles on Navy Times, Marine Corps Times, stripes.com and military.com.
To read the article in the military's own words, you will need to click the link.

Read all about Fair Use here. It sure is beginning to smell like fascism.

unhappycamper summary of this article: I didn't realize that the United States was flush enough to spend a quarter of a billion dollars on MRAP-based ambulances.
