2. Tanks or maybe armored personnel carriers?
Could be something as mundane as reserve units making their pilgrimage down to Fort Irwin for training.
Stop being a buzz kill Buzz. (obvious mole)

5. .............
Just throwing out an option
Fear mongering would be if I really pushed and said that
the military and the politicians have a secret plan in
place to declare martial law if and when the people
get fed up with all the terrorists and traitors in DC
and start taking to the streets and make the politicians
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

13. sacramento
is pretty far from pendleton. i'm puzzled as to where they are COMING from. i did a DU search on this before i posted it and found some stories a few years ago that said there were tanks going around the country with du (depleted uranium) on them. i think they ended up in kansas.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

Chances are, NTC at Ft. Irwin, DUmbasses. If they're coming home, you idiots are the last thing on their mind. They're worried about beer and poon.
Damn these people are idiots.

OPSEC, boys. They'll learn all they want about Operation Hummingbird, soon enough.
:hammer:

Oh no, sounds scary. Better lock yourself in your mother's basements. ::)

Dear DUmmies--we're the ones running that shit.
Chew on that one for a while.

They were already down there so they'll just stay put.

....and F-16's have been buzzing my house all day today. I forgot to wear my tinfoil lined nightcap to bed last night and I think they have found me. :panic:

You have that problem too? I see fighter jets flying around to the north of us at times. It couldn't possibly be because we have an Air Force base located in Las Vegas. It must be the government trying to intimidate us.

I was out at the barn today and I kept getting buzzed by F/A 18s. :runaway: :ohnoes:
Then I remembered the sign down the road that had master jet base and NAS written on it.

Well now that was something I never expected to over at the dump during the obumble rule. I came to expect it during the last administration, but Mr. Hopey/Changey gonna send out the tanks and APCs? Sheesh! I guess they are off their meds again.

I can see the shanti primitive now, following the tradition of banging and rattling pots and pans during an eclipse to chase away the monster eating up the moon.
If I were the shanti primitive, I would be well on my way to organizing a drum circle down at the railroad tracks, to chase away those big, bad imperialistic machines of war.

Don't worry DUmmies, it's just Blackwater and Haliburton, coming to get you.

Hey guys! After the next Illuminati meeting, lets all buzz a DUmmies house with our black helicopters!
:thatsright: DOH! I posted that. Darn! Now I have to kill everyone who's read this post. The Illuminati den mother isn't gonna like this.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, tin foil lined headgear protects you from nil. What you want are copper fiber lined head gear.

And it took 2 months to get the smile off your face, from what I heard. :tongue:

Two words... 5th amendment. :lmao:

We've made a ton of progress on the Second Amendment front if it's now necessary to specify a military tank.

Indeed - I happen to own an Adventure tank, which I enjoy taking out for summer weekend trips up to Cape Cod. My wealthy rethug investment banker neighbor has a Business tank he drives to work - Its got a mirror-like shine on it too. And a mini-bar.

Still, there's nothing like those great sport tanks of the Cold War...sure, sure, you have to be an inveterate tinkerer to keep them running now, and you may have to send to Israel or Belgium for main gun rounds which are still a bitch to sneak through Customs, but still, there's nothing today with the sporty looks of an AML-90, an IKV91, a Marder, or especially a Scimitar in British racing green!

My Adventure tank started life as an Australian Leopard 1A3 retired from service when the country switched to Abrams. It was in pretty good shape, and really only needed paint and standard maintenance. Since I take it to Cape Cod, and occasionally Provincetown, I added a big magnetic sign to the back and sides that reads 'Hybrid' - but I'm not sure the libs are buying it.. I also added one to the underside in case I accidentally Corrie one of them as I make my way down Commercial Street while on my adventure !

I finally got the little lady to go along with letting me buy a one-owner, loaded Abrams. I get my 120mm ammo from DUmoTex, the DUmp's ordnance expert.
The Abrams is sort of brutal on the driveway pavement, but it's a dream to drive, and you sure get a lot of attention cruising through the neighborhood.
It didn't quite fit through my garage door, but it took only a few seconds to widen the door.

While a bit heavy for the sport tank rally curcuit, that's a most enviable find! The L7A1 105mm main gun is outstanding, and the Leo has an excellent power to weight ratio! Well-played, sir, well-played!

This is true - I have been trying to convince the Missus to let me buy a lightweight CVR-T Sabre thats for sale in Ohio for 69K ( http://www.armyjeeps.net/armor1.htm) but she just isn't going for it :(
-
WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP a line of Marine Corps helicopters just went over the house WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP I think they are zeroing in on me.
...or they could be lost or just joy riding....but I bet they won't land at cousin Jimmy's airport again... :lmao: The last time they did that it cost you and I a bundle to fix the asphalt.

I wonder if the driver's sledgehammer is part of the 1% incomplete from the T-34/85 . . .
That would be a good Northway (I-87) vehicle.

A lot of that 1% seems to be no track on the right side, and from the description, the internal stuff like a commo system. Road wheel rubber that can be seen looks to be in good shape, though, so at least it isn't a burn-out. As many of them as there are around the world, the track should be findable if it isn't strapped up in a roll somewhere in the same yard. Looks pretty restorable.

EC's new Lamda Lamda Lamda name is Den Mom.
There is a stroy about it. I may just tell it sometime.
