Congress says, "here buy tanks"

How in this day and age do we still allow these frickers to get away with this shite?

In a statement, Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, said that Congress "recognizes the necessity of the Abrams tank to our national security and authorizes an additional $120 million for Abrams tank upgrades.

Turner chairs the Tactical Air and Land Forces Subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee and will retain that position in the next Congress. His district includes the General Dynamics Land Systems plant in Lima Ohio, the only U.S. manufacturer of tanks

Pretty sure this happened recently with an airplace, too. The Air Force said they don't need it, and Congress funded it anyway.

Republican have always hidden behind defense and faux patriotism for corporate welfare, bogus contracts, etc.

I read this before in the army times. Seems like the army is shifting towards more lighter infantry brigade combat teams

That is the only tank plant in the country. If we aren't buying we lose the knowledge and experience of the workers in the plant...

I'm very confident in our military against any other nation or threat.
But it seems foolish to get rid of tanks. Tanks would be essential in a fight against other formal militaries right?
Sure tanks might be useless against some mountain crawling rats like the Taliban and Al Qaeda, but say Russia does start something In twenty years and we are low on tanks.
Disclaimer: I don't know how many tanks we currently have so don't start lecturing me that we alreay have enough.
