Google “The Rise and Fall of the Army Surplus Store”. TLDR: instead of throwing everything and the kitchen sink at wars, military actions are now budgeted precisely, so there’s no mil surp stuff for sale anymore after a major war. Oh, and the US not having been in a major war in a while. Most anything you see in a milsurp store these days are Chinese repros.
I wonder if the US would be a better place if government surplus was simply given, free of charge, back to the citizens who paid for it in the first place. I don’t necessarily mean guns and bombs and all that, but packs, sleeping bags, clothes, barracks washing machines, computers and all that stuff.
Instead of a slightly used catapult, I’ll take a couple of F-16s, two F/A-18s, a slightly used Nimitz class Aircraft carrier, and 6 M1A2 tanks, for starters. I’m a little low on cash at the moment , so would you take a Social Security check if I endorse it over to you?

Bet they could sell them to Iraq. Or Iran. Or Syria. Or Lebanon. Or one of those darn places. So difficult to keep them straight.

Maybe the king doesn’t need the catapults so much anymore since he has a wizard and a fire breathing dragon named Henry.

I don’t have any military hardware to sell you, but I do have military secrets I can give you a good deal on.

Sounds like a government that I’m familiar with. We’re over budget and don’t have money to cover our debts. Just write another check!
