I heard last night that AM General-the folks who make the military Humvees-is NOT being sold. Somebody showed RARE intelligence on that one... Down here, there was/is a facility, Holston Ordnance that made a LOT of the explosives & powder for the ammo the Army uses, including this stuff called RDX, which was reputed to be the hottest stuff they had, short of nuclear. You would think that the Gummint would want to see that Holston Ordnance remained under US control, but Der Schlickmeister sold it to BAE Systems, a British outfit.
