Gentlemen, one must ask the question, how old is this equipment that is being sold off? When I was getting out of the army in 1966, the 113s were just coming into service. Now let me count the years that they have been around.........is that 33 years already!!!! I sure as hell wouldn't want to be riding around in the back of those ancient beasts, especially when they couldn't stop a modern day pea shooter round. Lets not get in a flap about that stuff being sold off unless it's something that is modern and has the ability to protect against the projectiles of today. My son went to Bosnia and rode around in the 113s and I for one was not happy that our idiotic government would allow that to happen. As for the arty pieces, I haven't got a clue as to how old they are. Do some checking gents, then get frustrated if it warrants it. As far as I'm concerned they are getting rid of equipment that should have been gotten rid of many years ago. Another four cents from the bleachers. Audax Et Celer.
