Obama DHS Purchases 2,700 Light-Armored Tanks

"The Department of Homeland Security (through the U.S. Army Forces Command) recently retrofitted 2,717 of these ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ vehicles for service on the streets of the United States."

Why do domestic agencies need 2700 armored vehicles? Rommel did not have that much armor!!

 

I guess they're prepping for that civil unrest being created. That explains why they're buying up so much ammunition and stockpiling it. Martial law is right around the corner. Rome.....once again. Well, it couldn't go on like this forever anyway. Tyranny eventually breaks down. Gonna be a nasty period in our history. God will have the last say though so...I'm good with it.

 

To better kill peasants.

 

This ain't your Sheriff Taylor's Mayberry, Aunt Bee....

 

To support the Military-Industrial Complex.

If the DHS won't buy them, with the war in Iraq over and the one in Afghanistan winding down, the MRAP manufacturers won't have anyone to sell them to.

The cronies have to keep their wealth flowing in.

BTW, I love how the Right loves to point out the dangers that the Border Patrol are in every day due to the threat of the Mexican cartels, but when the department in charge of the Border Patrol (DHS) buys them upgraded bulletproof vehicles, they scream "Conspiracy!".

 

That is almost one armored vehicle per person actually on the border....

 

What tyranny are you speaking of?

First DHS orders 1.6 billion rounds, now they're buying 2,700 light armored tanks.

Sounds like they are preparing for a war.

Admin edit: I've spent 20 minutes trying to substantiate the story in the link, and everything I find leads back to one post on a survivalist's blog in September of 2012. Until someone can find something current and credible that supports the thread, this belongs in Conspiracy Theories (at best), not Current Events.

 

That is more armor than Field marshal Rommel had in his Africa Corp....and more ammo than was used in the Italian campaign in WWII....but heck, no worries...the national nanny is looking out for us.

 

Better go buy up all the AR-15s you can get your hands on so that you can lead your rag tag but well regulated militia against the tyrants and become one of the founding fathers of America II.

 

Sounds like you enjoy the movie red dawn.

 

And the first thing we will do is ban all thing related to Dr. Seuss.

 

Considering the continental United States is much larger than North Africa or Italy it makes sense that Obama would buy that many MRAP's.

Sounds like conspiracy theorists are leaking in from the Conspiracy sub-forum. Where the hell are the mods?

Also, MRAPS aren't tanks.

 

WOLVERINES!!!!!!

 

I think that deep down, liberals love that idea.

They want to see the government go to war against the bitter clingers and wipe them out.

 

You'll know their paranoid ramblings are just sore loser partisan b.s......when it all magically "vanishs" on January 20th, 2017 when President Obama leaves office.

 

Reported by - Vision to America - these " Mine resistant Protected Vehicles "
or MRPV which will be used as ' Street Sweepers ' w/ gun ports are built

Maybe you should start blaming Sarah Palin for this...

 

Our wonderful federal government tells us there's absolutely nothing to worry about. And why should we worry that a communist-mentored president is stockpiling weapons for domestic agencies. I'm sure they only have our best interests at heart! Honest!

 

True they arnt tanks. they are meant for urban conflict.

So all those liberals who love their blue metropolises will be seeing them in the future.

 

2 Billion rounds of .40 cal and 9 mm is enough for 25 years waring in Iraq.

 

What is communism?

 

It will be hilarious if a republican takes over and liberals do a 180 about all these weapons of war the DHS has.

 

No, no....MORE fun will be watching you guys go nearly bankrupt buying up supplies, ammo, gold, etc. and building bunkers....and then looking around the crap in January 2017 and asking yourselves what the hell you just wasted your retirement account on.....

and some guy buying it off of you at 5 cents on the dollar.
