US DOD shuts down sales of trucks

[Frank v R]

from what I noticed on GL was that as soon as things went south in Iraq all the tactical trucks went off the sale, then the Navy Dept. put 2 real oddball 900 series truck up for bid and they stayed on, also CUCV's still keep coming up for bid , these engines are also non emission, so for my money I think the trucks were pulled so they could go as aid to Iraq, remember that 2 Iraqi divisions did the cut and run, lots of talk on Steel Soldiers on this topic,

late last week a few 900 series trucks showed up on GL , now they are back in quantity along with M-35A2's , Hemitt's, etc, good to see , never mind about all those EPA rumors,

I know some of the heavy hitters on our side were arguing the point that tactical MVs were originally exempt from EPA emissions as as such should fall into a grandfather class. I guess common sense must have kicked in to allow things to roll once again.
I suspect the issue of funds recovery or the pending loss of same might have had something to do with it as well.
