This one is worth watching guys

...peddling pure bullshit to draw attention to themselves. DHS doesn't have "six division's worth" of APCs, they have 16.

The "1.6 billion rounds" thing is similarly bullshit, spread by people either making stuff up or not reading the actual RFQ as the folks at Military Times did.

for homeland security to show this to the public and to the senate committees. Instead of evading all the questions...Whoever there PR folks are need to be fired.

you can't believe everything you read but, just like the contract for 1.6 billion (+) rounds over 10 years the acquisition wasn't fully explained and "Big Sis" wouldn't answer questions about them. It would have been a simple thing to say, "we only have 16, at major airports." Then again, you have to know something about "Big Sis". She can be briefed in the morning and forget the whole thing by the afternoon.

I don't know what the MTOE might authorize, but I figure 2700 MRAPs should do 5 or 6 Army divisions...

which gets reported as a purchase by DHS by people either lacking in reading comprehension skills or flat-out lying.
