Now some people (like me) are naturally gullible when it comes to things like this meme I found. Yeah, so I had to see if it was true. It's not?! 
This, in turn got me to thinking about the number of ex-military aircraft that one can buy, like MiG-15's, 17's & 21's. In fact, there's a company in Stead (of air racing fame) who goes thru these 3 aircraft, makes sure they're FAA approved for flight, then sells them. So....how about military vehicles and I'm not talking about trucks, jeeps, etc. I'm talking TANKS! 
There's a company in Texas (naturally) that offers you the chance to drive one, with you rolling over a car or firing some howitzer. HOWEVER, they do offer a Mk. 5 Chieftain tank for $750,000. Going to look around on the net just to see what else is out there. I do know the Brits have some of their stuff for sale, along with A LOT of stuff by the Russians and the Italians have a gob of M-113's that are all lined up in some pasture. If I EVER hit the lottery, this is going to be on my bucket list.
