    I hope you realize what you’re saying is that taxpayers paid less for the same vehicle the second time than they did the first time.

        But, in exchange they pay to maintain it and the DoD can take it back any time they want.

      Well yes. I dont see the problem with reusing stuff. Hell, isnt the motto Reduce Reuse Recycle?

        “Reusing” and “rebuying” are two different things.

          Theyre buying the truck from the military for near scrap value, its not like they’re paying 700k twice. And yes it is reusing.

            So it’s okay for the government to use taxpayer money twice for military surplus if it costs significantly less the second time?

            Is there anything else people should be taxed twice for?

              What do you think most govt debt is? Is this your first time learning how one government department buys something from another?

              And its not taxed.
