Three Central New York men have been arrested in connection with the stealing and reselling of government-owned military equipment.
The New York State Police report they were contacted by the United States Army Criminal Investigation Division and were advised that a suspicious Facebook Marketplace account had been opened by James Waleski, 50, of Jamesville, a Department of Defense employee at the 174th Air National Guard Attack Wing in Syracuse. The account was attempting to sell military-grade equipment not available to the general public.

I seriously doubt that pink AR is military equipment, but with today's woke military, who knows?
As for the rest of it being something that's not available to the general public, I don't see anything that can't be bought at a Tennessee yard sale.
WHAT????
ReplyDeleteNew York police is going after other people besides Trump?
I guess the Supreme Court scared them off.
Dang, and I was in the market for a few M18 smoke grenades in pink, but they sold out in pride month.
ReplyDeleteThe radios might be military specific depending upon the frequency and/or encryption capabilities. Otherwise everything else is likely available, or at least has a civilian equivalent.
ReplyDeleteNo, it really is that bad up in NY... You have no idea.
ReplyDelete"Community Stabilization Unit"???? WTF is that!
ReplyDeleteAnd those mil spec MREs are probably what the public can't get.
The MREs as of late are pretty edible. During Superstorm Sandy, the national guard and the cadets at West Point were distributing them in the flood ravaged sections of NYC. I had enough food stored and backup power, but for those who did not, the MREs were a Godsend. The NG came in with a truck that had many times the food that could possibly be eaten, so many took extra MREs to eat another time.
DeleteNo kidding. Its common to see that kind of stuff for sale by private civilians. Gunsamerica.com
ReplyDeleteA HS friend a couple years older than me became a supply Sgt in the Army. Anyone who knows, know that supply Sgts can work, uh, 'miracles'.
Ol Dave Abbott mailed a Jeep to himself c/o his parent's home. Piece by piece. Sometime later we busted a gut laughing when we saw that Radar on M*A*S*H had done the same.
My guess from the picture, the body armor plates are not available to the public.
ReplyDeleteLord help us if the military is issuing pink weapons
I own several sets of ESAPI plates. They are easy to come by.

That reminds me, did they ever find that 60K pounds of ammonium nitrate that went missing?
ReplyDelete- WDS
The inclusion of the pink AR leads me to believe this is a stock photo of equipment issued to the "Community Stabilization Unit". Also, given government propensity to misname things, "Destabilization" is probably the more correct word.
ReplyDeletePikers, SloJoe gave the Taliban 80 billion $ worth of "Military Grade" equipment.

I didn't realized that military equipment came with stupid compliance bolt on crap like the one on the left.
