"Believe it or not, they have to be "demilitarized" under some agreement
about them"
It's not just Hummers, it's everything, and they want it to be retroactive.
This is a big thing in the old airplane world. It seems that someone sold
some "surplus" rocket launchers or B52's or nuclear submarines or something
to some unsavory foreigners, not, shall we say, our friends. This caused
great wailing and gnashing of teeth, and the typical overreaction.
Initally, this would mean that ALL old military aircraft, including some WWI
biplanes, would be destrpyed, including the entire fleets of organizations
like the confederate Air Force. Some in congress are propose less draconian
solutions, but nothing is settled currently.
