The USAF is buying 208 cars for Afghanistan.

And they are specing Toyotas.

Could this be because of the availability of parts/service? Is Toyota the most common car there?

I find it amazing that Phil complains about the government pissing away our money on these cars ( Which they are) yet is adamantly in favor of the current admins pissing away trillions of taxpayer money on Loans to Brazil for Oil exploration, Obamacare, The Stimulus plan, GM buy out and the rest of the massive socialist programs set up by the left.

I didn't even mention the BILLION we piss away yearly for the "War on Poverty" started by LBJ or the 3.1 million Americans added to SSDI or the millions added to food stamps.

A few used Toyota's going to Afghanistan piss him off but Trillions wasted by the government trying to change human nature he applauds.

I find it "amazing" that you think you know what I do and don't support.

Kudos to Joecoool for spending 30 seconds starting this thread so half a dozen people will now have something to do with the rest of their entire day.

Wow, got lucky on this thread. For a second there I thought this was going to be another Christian bashing he so dearly loves (and has proven time and time again).

Considering Toyota has created 365,000 jobs in the US, there are probably worse companies the money could have gone to...

I read your posts in PR&C. Your support for the progressive left has been clearly articulated.

Let's look at the bright side. Maybe Skia or UniqueDoug will be awarded the contract and be busy delivering used Toyotas to the other side of the planet for a couple of years.
