I was going to suggest they throw a spike strip across the highway to stop it.

But they got the guy anyhow.

The guy was high. And he is a Lieutenant -- great way to end a career. He had eleven years in -- halfway to retirement. Kiss that goodbye.

11 years in and only a 1st LT?  Not much of a career.

What is the rate of promotion in the National Guard?  Was the 11 years in active duty or did that include just NG time?

29 years old, 11 years in service. Enlisted at 18, probably did a couple or three enlistments as an EM and then went to OCS.

That makes sense.  I hope he enjoyed being an officer.  And free.

Leave it to a Lieutenant to steal the most fugly, least impressive armored vehicle for his escapade. If you can't snag a tank or a Bradley, why bother?  ???

Kudos to the maintenance officer and the maintenance team of that unit. 60 miles at 40+mph and it ddidn't throw a track or have a mechanical issue !!!!

Yes, but it was the only operational vehicle on base.

Or remember to pick up a couple boxes of .223 on the way to the base.  A few rounds coming out of that thing and he'd have been a hell of a challenge for the cops to figure out.

Realistically, we probably should have something in Federal law specifically permitting/recommending an airstrike to eliminate any stolen military vehicle at the first good opportunity.  Imagine if the guy that crunched up several cars with a tank a few years back had been able to swipe even a couple rounds for the main gun too.

Given how many AVs are ending up in local police agency inventories that might be a good law to pass.

For those who can't/won't listen, the song is "Eastbound and Down" by Jerry Reed from "Smokey and the Bandit." 

Good fit, I'd say.
