Crushing m880 and m151

[w200/m880]

I got sent this you tube clip by an old soldier who served in germany late eighties,the old military hardware had to be crushed as the german government wouldnt let them jeopardise their car market.
The soldiers often drained all fluids and ran them till the motors seized

A friend used to buy m880,s in belgium and pick one good one to tow two further trucks chained together and drive them through france on to the ferry to england,each cost him $25,plymouth furys could be bought for $6 each but you had to take 60 or more at a time,happy days.

Crushing of the M151 was a demil requirement but generally had to be done by the guy who purchased the vehicle. Never say M880s getting crushed before. Shameful it is.

I've said it before - we save what we can, and the wolves get the rest. Sad, but it's life.

Has there ever been a more wasteful country than the U.S.?

They still do that stuff. 90% of the eqipment we send overseas never returns.
