Although there may be only a few of us on this list, if someone with some
political or legal "gift" to give the letter proper language, then I
could print off several copies for interested parties to sign. I could
probably get at least 40 people to sign the letters and send them to
their congressmen, not because they're mil-veh enthusiasts, but because
they have enough common sense to see the utter wastefulness this policy
of crushing the vehicles is. Now I might have to explain what a M151 is to
someone, but everyone can relate to the HMMWV, right? Now if 400 of us
could get, say 30 people each, higher mathematics tells us we have 12000
letters. Now THAT can make a difference!
