Default Total destruction of all End-Use items (end of trucks???)

Just passing this on:

http://capwiz.com/sboa/issues/alert/?alertid=10504061

Could be the end of Duece's and Five Tons.....
Not to mention the parts to maintain them!!!

This is the same plan from 10-12 years ago, but this time it seems like they may get away with it!!!!

Where are the sources, references, and facts behind this "warning"?

The Pentagon also plans on doing LOTS of things that never see the light of day.

I got another e-mail alert also. The mil-radio guys are also getting them. I also got a letter from my congressman saying he is looking into this. (and I have a bridge I want to sell). The GL warehouse at Mechanicsburg is half what it was 6 months ago. The goverment has taken it back from GL. Most of the items there are now outside in the "scrap yard" or back lot. Items to sell are way down. There are alot of trucks there now waiting for sale so lets hope they get sold before any new restrictions.

Yeah Ron, but for the most part, the mil radio guys have given up long ago. For the past 15 years, most if not all radio equipment is scrapped, run over by a dozer, etc. I've seen it at Belvoir back when they had a DRMO there. The radio guys have already thrown up their hands in frustration and wept over the remaining scrap metal.

However, we need to band together as many groups of folks as possible, from the resellers of surplus items, to the end users, to even those who just hate govt. waste, get them all bitching and moaning to the reps at once, and we can win this!

military radios, what a waste.. $18,000 radio smashed to pieces. Someone would have bought it for ham radio use for $1000.

Just got the same warning from a friend. Click on the link and fill out the e-mail to your congressman. At least we can say we did somthing, The Libs are trying there best to destroy this hobby and anything else that is connected to or looks like military. Do Something good for our country and fight the worthless jerks. We have strength in numbers if we stand together.
