It isn't an American truck.

Have to check the VIN to see where it was manufactured. Big operation in San Antonio. This one was probably manufactured in Mexico. U.S. Army uses them extensively. Not unusual to have parts manufactured all over the place and then brought to assembly areas. Few major manufactures maintain one country for production.

Yeah, I can't help but wonder why not off shore some of the defense contracting and save the u.s. Taxpayer. The branches would find good
value with increased purchase power.

American firms are unmatched when it comes to breeding the dogs of war. Military hardware is probably one of our leading exports.

Regardless of where that truck was put together it's kinda ballsy to put all them manly stickers on a riceburner.

Nice business. Here is a Wiki list of arms exporters. U.S. is ranked (no surprise) #1 but with a calculator and making adjustments for GNP and population there would be some surprises like the Swiss and Sweden.

Are you all sniffing up the wrong tree? The stickers seem to be about pit bull rescue and such. I think the truck owner is just a rather over zealous lover of pit bull doggies. Hmm


You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

Logtroll,
I doubt a lot of Democrats own pit bulls, unless they are drug dealers. How's that for a double stereotype?

Aren't all Democrats drug dealers? Even a layabout has to have an income stream, and gun running can be sooo much work.

Why not just extinguish most defense war contracting? That would really save the U.S. taxpayer (and save a vast number of people all over the world from being murdered, maimed and tortured by American militarism) !!
