Finally, I found something that I don't have to take issue with President Obama's Administration. When the government took over GM Motors earlier this year one of the first things I heard was that they were selling the "Hummer" division to China. . . .I thought OMG our military vehicles are going to be made in China now. . . .but. . . .
According to www.army.mil: "The Army's Humvee and the civilian Hummer look similar and share a common appearance," said spokesman Lt. Col. Martin Downie. "But the rights to produce those two different vehicles are no longer owned by the same company."
"Humvee manufacturer AM General is an American company based in South Bend, Ind. The company produced the first 55,000 Humvees for the Army in 1985. The company continues today to produce the Humvee for the military."
Even though I have major issues with our government taking over a private industry. . . .At least they didn't sellout the "Humvee" to the Chinese. . . .
