4,000
— The number of million-dollar Mine-Resistant, Ambush-Protected vehicles the Marines bought to fight the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. They only need 1,200 of them now. "It is a rather unique vehicle and it does have some limitations on it," Marine Lieut. General Richard Mills told a Senate Armed Services Committee panel Tuesday. What happens to the other 2,800? "We're still working through the details of how to best retire the vehicles that aren't going to be put back into service," said Sean Stackley, the Navy's chief weapons buyer.
