I wouldn't doubt it with the situation between Israel and Iran going on right now.
In case you forgot, they announced they're cutting the military's budget like... last week.
So, no.

Ah, that would explain the tanks :~)

Woah, they built all those tanks in a week!?
I'm late? Source to original thread?
I've seen stuff like that all the time.

:v:
Nah the date of the original video was 20/1/2012 or something according to the description of the original video
My point was, the spending cutback is irrelevant because these tanks already exist
OR perhaps they wanted to blow a load of money before the cutback? Who knows
Honestly that's really frighting. I've never seen a tank in person outside a museum.

Also;
These are stocked piles of older Bradley from the cold war inventory. As you can see on the tank @ the 2:07 mark there is a sprayed on "DL" which is code for the DRMO depot for final disposition and destruction. It is a awesome sight to behold to see how much military hardware we as tax payers have bought and ultimately just destroy. Sad really.
Those tanks/APCs are like cold war era, they're probably getting scrapped.
Everyone always jumps to conspiracy theories. The Empire is sending tanks! THE USA IS GOING TO WAR!

UNCOMFORTABLE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DEATH STAR ATTACK[/b]
We’ve all heard the “official conspiracy theory” of the Death Star attack. We all know about Luke Skywalker and his ragtag bunch of rebels, how they mounted a foolhardy attack on the most powerful, well-defended battle station ever built. And we’ve all seen the video over, and over, and over, of the one-in-a-million shot that resulted in a massive chain reaction that not just damaged, but completely obliterated that massive technological wonder.

Like many Americans, I was fed this story when I was growing up. But as I watched the video, I began to realize that all was not as it seemed. And the more I questioned the official story, the deeper into the rabbit hole I went.
Presented here are some of the results of my soul-searching regarding this painful event. Like many citizens, I have many questions that I would like answered: was the mighty Imperial government really too incompetent to prevent a handful of untrained nerf-herders from destroying one of their most prized assets? Or are they hiding something from us? Who was really behind the attack? Why did they want the Death Star destroyed? No matter what the answers, we have a problem.
Below is a summary of my book, Uncomfortable Questions: An Analysis of the Death Star Attack, which presents compelling evidence that we all may be the victims of a fraud of immense proportions.

Uncomfortable Questions about the Death Star Attack
1) Why were a handful of rebel fighters able to penetrate the defenses of a battle station that had the capability of destroying an entire planet and the defenses to ward off several fleets of battle ships?
2) Why did Grand Moff Tarkin refuse to deploy the station’s large fleet of TIE Fighters until it was too late? Was he acting on orders from somebody to not shoot down the rebel attack force? If so, who, and why?
3) Why was the rebel pilot who supposedly destroyed the Death Star reported to be on the Death Star days, maybe hours, prior to its destruction? Why was he allowed to escape, and why were several individuals dressed in Stormtrooper uniforms seen helping him?
4) Why has there not been an investigation into allegations that Darth Vader, the second-ranking member of the Imperial Government, is in fact the father of the pilot who allegedly destroyed the Death Star?
5) Why did Lord Vader decide to break all protocols and personally pilot a lightly armored TIE Fighter? Conveniently, this placed Lord Vader outside of the Death Star when it was destroyed, where he was also conveniently able to escape from a large-sized rebel fleet that had just routed the Imperial forces. Why would Lord Vader, one of the highest ranking members of the Imperial Government, suddenly decide to fly away from the Death Star in the middle of a battle? Did he know something that the rest of the Imperial Navy didn’t?
6) How could any pilot shoot a missile into a 2 meter-wide exhaust port, let alone a pilot with no formal training, whose only claim to fame was his ability to “bullseye womprats” on Tatooine? This shot, according to one pilot, would be “impossible, even for a computer.” Yet, according to additional evidence, the pilot who allegedly fired the missile turned off his targeting computer when he was supposedly firing the shot that destroyed the Death Star. Why have these discrepancies never been investigated, let alone explained?
7) Why has their been no investigation into evidence that the droids who provided the rebels with the Death Star plans were once owned by none other than Lord Vader himself, and were found, conveniently, by the pilot who destroyed the Death Star, and who is also believed to be Lord Vader’s son? Evidence also shows that the droids were brought to one Ben Kenobi, who, records indicate, was Darth Vader’s teacher many years earlier! Are all these personal connections between the conspirators and a key figure in the Imperial government supposed to be coincidences?
8) How could a single missile destroy a battle station the size of a moon? No records, anywhere, show that any battle station or capital ship has ever been destroyed by a single missile. Furthermore, analysis of the tape of the last moments of the Death Star show numerous small explosions along its surface, prior to it exploding completely! Why does all evidence indicate that strategically placed explosives, not a single missile, is what destroyed the Death Star?
MAKES SENSE!!!!!!!

They're tanks, we use those in war, and we're at war right now. They're probably being shipped to another base or port to be shipped to a combat zone or another base. We've been using Striker APC's for a little while now, so they may be going to get scrapped or stripped for parts, not sure if the bradely has been abandoned or not yet.
I've seen them (being transported via truck) on the highway before. Not even scary in the slightest, just movement of materials really.
These tanks are heading to decommissioning facility to be scrapped, nothing important really.
Isn't this video years old?
waste of good bradleys yo
why scrap them when we can just leave them with minimal maintenance and use them to equip national guard / reserve units and as replacements or for replacement parts
god bles usa~~!
Why not put them up on sale like the UK.
You get to drive a tank to work
I saw a few semi-trucks driving what looked like new apcs down the highway in Canada the other day.

That was beautiful.
We're already in war.
It's the development of the new Bradley unit here at Fort Bliss, Tx
