I just read this about our sending F-16's and tanks to Egypt. The leader of Egypt is an antisemitic who has publicly said "we must not forget to nurse our children and grandchildren on hatred towards those Zionists and Jews, and all who support them." and called Jews "descendants of apes and pigs" and "blood-suckers."
This just isn't right! This should be on every news station.

So if we ever go to war with Egypt we will be fighting our own war machines. How fucking nice is that?

Well I wish you were right, but it is the latest technology. Besides it is not made and shipped by our military. The tanks and F-16's are made by General Dynamics Land Systems. You and I are simply paying for them. They are the latest models.

I highly doubt that, Anita. I used to work for General Dynamics and I know how these deals work. They need permission to sell weapons overseas, and permission is only given for older generations of technology. These devices were all developed under DoD contracts, and the Dod keeps tight tabs on where they go.
