My Dad was a Seabee. What is your point? We didn't need engineers, we needed warm bodies with chainsaws in large quantity. The problem wasn't lack of technical knowledge, it was an overwhelming number of downed trees and downed power lines.
We didn't need semis pulled out of ditches. We needed medium size trees cut up and moved off the road. Yes, an M60 can do this. So how many M60s would it take to move as many trees in a given time as, say
100,000 men with chainsaws?
No kidding. There were times they had to wait till the ice melted to get them out of the lot. It's kind of hard to move a snow plow or salt truck when they are frozen in place.
Some people can't think their way out of a paper bag. Of course it requires planning and there are expenses involved. It also creates some permanent jobs.
Or they die when the substandard crap goes bad before it's shipped.
I'd figure some troll was adulterating the contents of a perfectly good box.
No reason to make better weapons available, though. :)
Will you bet your life on something that stupid?
That doesn't mean he can't bite you. I NEVER trust a dog that yodels.
Thanks for the predictable, and sensible response.

Love the way you can make the same point in the same forum, just one minute after the last time you made it. Alzheimer's seems to be catching up with you.
It's no stupider a bet than thinking outlawing classes of firearms, imposing registrations, and so forth is going to make anybody any safer. The toothpaste is already out of the tube.
Because it makes the dummy feel good.
That is one of the reasons the newer designs have the spreader located at the front of the box. Lack of traction for the salt truck itself with a rear spreader. It works but you have to dedicate vehicles to the job, Not like the slide in units that just hook to the hydraulics on a normal dump body. The worse item now are the damn calcium spray trucks. That crap really eats up steel.
Guess you haven't noticed that they already have the "better weapons"
When you don't worry about the laws it's VERY easy to get full auto weapons on the street, and usually much easier in locations with stricter gun laws. That is because the feel good laws that are in place lull the masses into thinking that "It can't happen here, the laws prevent it"
Why not, you expect that laws will stop them from getting weapons anyway.
Your area must be different than mine. There are a number of service yards scattered around this area with poles, spools transformers and repair parts for times when there are big problems. National grid has at least 4 within 25 miles of my place.
The city tried magnesium chloride on winter. I don't think it bothers steel, but it's hell on alloy wheels.
THey used a road grader to turn snow into pack ice in Alaska in the '70s. Ice on the road? No problem smooth another layer of snow over it and compact it.
They were using still 30 & 40 year old trucks in the township I lived in, in Ohio. Mostly W.W. II surplus. When their stock of salt was gone, the state had to take care of the highway, while the side roads were left alone. With all the limestone haulers going down that highway
24/7, ice wasn't that big of a problem.I've only seen snow twice in Florida in 25 years.
Preach to someone else. I know how damn weak the laws are, after decades of liberal dumbasses in charge.
Are you always that stupid? You sure seem to be.
