Yep and jeeps only had about a 90 day life expectancy in combat so they were
also considered temporary. Despite the nature of the item and its
classification by the military, it is still historic in its own right and it
would be nice if a few examples were saved for future generations to see.
If for no other reason than to make the appreciate their creature comforts
today.
Since old MVs don't meet DOT safety standards and were not expected to last,
we should nuke them too.
I've spent my time in the old open bay WWII billets at Ft Knox, Ft Sill, Ft
Devens........as a cadet and officer. They were pretty darned nice compared
to lots of places I've slept (such as outside and on the ground).
