It means that they added plane nutz.

I've been involved in nuclear weapons moves and I can assure you they aren't towed around by pickup truck. There's also a Marine security force detachment providing security with lots of vehicles and guns.

Yeah your right. Bubba is probably gonna repurpose them for the Cajun Air Force.


Didn't think that joke through did you? Cajun Navy yea.

repurposed jettisoned tanks in Vietnam

But clever Vietnamese farmers saw an opportunity to repurpose some of the thousands of huge metal tanks that were scattered throughout the land. With a little outside the box thinking, these scraps of metal were transformed into fully functional canoes.

Fuel tanks. Obviously can't just throw those in the normal trash. Someone may have bought some from the military for repurpose.


Too small for aircraft drop tanks, not the right shape, or construction. Obviously something that is hauled by this truck on a regular basis, the racks on the trailer and the back of the truck are made for the purpose of transporting these things.

Those are travelpods

Pilots carry their luggage/gear in them.

They have a hinged door on the side for A-10s.

Supposedly used to be napalm bomb casings.

They're certainly not F-16 external taNks

A warhead that size would weigh over a ton?

Looks like there are 16 of them on the trailer. That single axle trailers ain’t hauling 32,000 pounds.

Plus 8 more in the truck. That would be a truck worthy of nuts.

As someone who was stationed at Barksdale, I assure you this is not how warheads or vital material is moved...

This deserves one other comment - you think a pickup truck can haul around nukes out in the open? You think a pickup truck could haul them at all?

You might be the dumbest person here. That's a very legit possibility, and you should never, under any circumstances, be allowed to have children.
