Donation
I can see they have a weird understanding of the word 'donation', perhaps in their minds they meant 'loan'.
Bet they're not on their own with that story. It must have happened all over the world.

Well I suppose they are in the right country to be "Indian Givers"
What a riduculous request ,especially after more than 60 years I know the American economy is in a bad way but i think they are taking debt recovery to a insane level especially if it was donated equipment

Donation definition
My definition is probably along the same lines as yours Tony.
I doubt that any charitable organisation expects to "give back" its "donations". Sounds like yet another case of "gunboat diplomacy", from big brother.

On another tack....
Now if it was "Lend/ Lease" (is there a smiley for a sh.t stirrer?)

To me donate means transfer of ownership. At least with our Regt'l Museum. Someone donates something to us we can do with it as we see fit. However when "playing" with the government you can almost certanly expect the "rules" to be re-written legaly so that the house wins.

I don't know if it has been used elsewhere, but it certainly was used about North American Free Trade and applies here "if you get in bed with an elephant, you risk getting squashed" or worse????
