2,000 MRAPS To be Scrapped in the Stan
Weaponsman has a post up over there about the scandalous scrapping of as many as 2,000 of the V-hulled 16-ton armored behemoths known as MRAPs, all under six years old, will be sold for scrap to local junksmiths.
These bad boys cost $1mil each and were rushed to the sandbox after 2007 to protect against IEDs and mines. Now we will be *paying* $12,000 a pop to crush them so the afghans can use thier metal as scrap.
Wow. I’m so glad April 15th is right around the corner.
