Sorry, I have done all types of car shows and why would anyone in the 330th Medical Batalion put a vehicle in a show that had paint peeling on the door? I guess the Army has changed. I was in the 13th Combat Engineer Battalion in Korea and with the Army Engineer School at Fort Belvoir, VA, and we would NEVER allow a vehicle to have off-color peeling paint.

I'm not sure abouit peeling paint, Pete, but a lot of things have changed in our armed forces. Like at the USMA at West Point talking abouit dropping the motto "Duty, Honor, Country."

I'm not military but have been around a lot of military vehicles. It seems the modern CARC chips and peals easily. If that's what this vehicle has.

The world just hasn't been the same since they took away asbestos and lead from our daily lives...

Reading this forum is “known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.”

I've always thought if everything seems to cause cancer in California, maybe it's living in California that causes it.

if there was ever a cure for cancer it would say it is “known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.”

Really? I had not heard that one. As a military school graduate I think that is terrible. 😞

News sources are very selective apparently about what they report and what they don't. Where I go for news, the recent change to the mission statement at West Point was very prominently reported.

Thank you for your service, Pete! If you are a West Point grad, you probably heard a lot about "Duty, Honor, Country" and the words no doubt helped to shape and mold the soldier you became and the person you are. That very descriptive and deeply engrained language just got watered down in the newly revised mission statement to, "Army values". I believe "Duty, Honor, Country" is still the Army motto, but who knows when it too may be up for review and subject to change. Undermining over 200 years of proud tradition is an ambitious undertaking, but what is becoming increasingly obvious is that there are forces at work doing just that.
