Does anyone know what communication/survalence equipment was installed in these Hummers? It would seem that if it was encripted satalite communication equipment the militarys complete communication,satalite systems,UAV`s might be compromised…Am I the only one concerned about this?

You know what just occurred to me?

We have *mountains* of commie equipment everywhere. Fifty years’ worth. Stuff we captured from the Iraqis, stuff the Israelis captured from Egypt and Syria which made it’s way to us, your occasional defecting pilot, hell stuff we even bought (small arms), maybe even gear the mujaheddin took in the ’70s.

There’s commie crap seemingly in every CONUS base museum; still in storage after MASINT people had their way with it; or blown to its component atoms on firing ranges. We even have nice modern MiG’s in NATO front line service.

So they rolled up and took a handful of Humvees out of storage crates? Well hey, if that’s what it takes for the Russian military to feel all grown up, maybe that’s ok.

(tousles Russian infantryman’s hair) isn’t it? Isn’t it ok, big fella? Sure it is. Heh. Now go sit on the potty and wash your hands before dinner, ok? Ok.

Actually, for goods travelling by ship, title belongs to the bearer of the Bill of Lading (this is different from the usual legal principle). Those may or may not have been placed in US hands at that point. As I read it, if they were still being held by Georgians, the USA has a claim on Georgia for the value, not on Russia for the goods (Georgia would have a claim on Russia for the goods).

I think we did sort of the same thing when that Mig pilot defected in the seventies. We had possession of a top of the line (at the time) super secret Soviet Mig-25 and they wanted it back. So we sent it back to them, totally disassembled in a crate… each separate piece, carefully measured, labeled and packed.

I believe it’s time to airstrike those Humvees and everything in them. Might as well do the same to the USS pueblo while we’re all hot and bothered.

I’m pretty sure it’s time to take off the leash.

3rd Battalion / 25th Marines will be needing some new vehicles. Army Humvees don’t have the high stacks front and back. I’m sure the 3/25 devil dogs would be glad to retrieve them personaly.
