Thats what I said, guess the Lithuanian army is strapped for cash these days. How about we bring them into the US system and give them a line of credit

Also....The reason they didn't use the bridge in the first place is.....? (I'm guessing either fear of collapse or fear of sabotage)

Isn't that standard on most 4Runners? they don't look new. I bet they got them from CarMax. $60000 for the basic Humvee... Used 2002 4Runner $9000...hmmm...

Maybe we should give them a line of credit.

Well big thumbs up to the Lithuanians......small country but still prepared to help out in Afganistan, unlike some larger Nato Countries I can't even bring myself to mention, but begin with G, F, S....or if they do help out its only in areas of relative peace....rant over!

Well, G-d bless the hooples.Although I am vaguely reminded of the Polish Cavalry in '39 riding their horses against German tanks,such is the persistence of memory.
