A defense contract with vigorish to replace 40 miles of tanks.

Oh yeah, and maybe some territory comes with it.

That many vehicles, end to end - that’s just supplies for a fire/blast.

Lot of munitions to blow up - that’s truly a target waiting to be acquired. A bomber’s or special operation wet dream.

out bringing them to a stop. I would like to see something like "The Highway of Death' in Iraq. I remember
listening to the radio at work one night reporting about this great convoy in Iraq. That afternoon we heard they
were totally destroyed.
