Scary we only have one facility to manufacture these.

I am of the opinion - tanks are like ammo. Hard to believe you can ever have 'too much'.

Rommel said the winner was usually the man with one more round of ammunition...

A UAW shirt with a pro Trump message???? Wow.... I have worked with the UAW for many years, and that is nothing short of stunning.

I worked in the old tank plant in Warren, Mi for a while. Huge place, and quite a dump actually.

Some wore olive green United Auto Worker T-shirts with Trump's "Drain the Swamp" slogan printed on the back.

No doubt a call from the national president will be coming in a few days.

Cut off any and all "benefits" and "entitlements" to the useless "socialist" programs, and what not and funnel those funds to that "expensive shit".

I work to pay for stuff I have to have, then work a little harder for things I would like to have, and then work even harder to help those I can that are unable to do more for themselves.

It's a real simple method.

Drain the swamp, and kick the parasites to the curb and let them fucking starve.

I would rather Sgt. York shoot the enemy in the eye with a shiny new rifle and Col. Abrams drive a shiny new tank right up the enemy's ass, than spend another copper on some useless taker that hates America and all who have paid to see her born and keep her safe.


And I really don't care to hear all the excuses as to "why" such a thought is bad policy.

If you are strong and have the resolve to stand and die for the prize, then you owe no man the time to hear him whine or protest.

Sometimes you just have to make their eyes water.

Happy Birthday, America.

Sigmonkey feels like I feel. Probably most of us feel.

I have been in that tank plant. They have a lot of skilled people who work there.

I went in to take a test for a job.
I had already retired from one UAW facility.
Unfortunately we had to join the union there.

I was teaching at a couple of places at the time. A community college and an adult ed facility.
Got the short tour of the plant. They actually hired someone who had more electronic "experience" than I had. Also he had no job.

They patted me down and took my cell phone before I entered, they also scanned over my car on the way in and stuck a mirror under it.

I guess a lot of people get cancer that work or worked in that place. Something I heard from people who work there.

The old tank plant I worked in had similar issues. The area where they stored and installed the luminescent dials was radioactive, and needed cleanup, and the whole site was contaminated with all manner of nastiness. Took a couple years and tons of money to supposedly clean it up.
