But what do you do with perfectly good "stuff" the military already has?? Why give it to the local and state police of course? Then you can sell more "stuff" to the gov't. Why use a police cruiser when you can use a HUMVEE.. Why use a pickup or big suv when you can use a ARMORED PERSONAL CARRIER? Oh and don't forget about the cool intimidation factor..
conspiracy theory off now. YMMV...
