    Screw the Army having a quiet electric vehicle, why can't my milkman manage not to wake me every morning?

    And his Electric Vehicle can only do about 15mph and is armed with whipped cream.

    @beercheck:

    Rows and rows of disused milk floats
    stand dying in the dairy yard

    And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts

    Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry

    It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come

    fast and furious

    In a town called malice.

    @Paul Y. don't drive too fast.: I'm not so sure, if they were going to add armor it would negate any of the bragged about gas savings with the extra weight. But this is probably not intended for direct combat zones anyway, more like sneak attacks.

    My girlfriend's uncle's brother used to work in Iraq for a contractor -- he's told tales of graft so bad that you pretty much had to order ten times of any given material or supply that you needed, in order to have any hope of covering the corruption in the supply chain. If you got lucky, you'd receieve at least what you needed to do your job.

    I can see the overhead on securing a fuel supply being ludicrous. It would be interesting to see how much of it never even makes it to it's destination, as well. I do not envy whomever has to break this kind of news to Congress. #fuelprices

    $400 dollars per gallon seems like a lot, but it’s my understanding that those MRAPs get really good gas mileage which makes up for the high cost. #fuelprices

    @send lawyers, guns, and money: You gotta be joking. Social Security a Ponzi scheme? I've been paying into it for fifty eight years and will never receive more than four or five cents for every dollar I paid into it. Of course there's some, and you're probably one of them, who would use the word "entitlement" which has been turned into a pejorative. Wake the fuck up.

    Those numbers aren't even close to adding up. $400 a gallon x 800,000 gallons a day = $320 million a day on fuel.

    According to an article released two days ago by the very same publication, the US spends $3.6 billion a month in Afghanistan. 3.6 billion / 30 = $120 million a day in Afghanistan, total cost. Pretty sure we can't spend $200 million more on fuel per day than we spend on the entire war per day.

    I'm guessing that either an extra zero has been added in somewhere, or that the $400 a gallon only applies to a small fraction of the fuel they use. #fuelprices
