Shhh!
We like to be a bit more discrete about our own treasure hordes, ya know!
Though I confess I'd like to know where they keep pulling out those Shermans for sale, along with all the other hardware that's rumored they keep stockpiled.
BTW, I recall there was a survey done by the U.N. not long ago that attempted to determine what country were the most heavily armed, or had the most weapons per capita. While I would take it with a grain of salt, after crunching the data, they claimed the most heavily armed nation in the world is in fact the United States.
I should add this was determined after compiling official tallies of not only military stockpiles, but also CIVILIAN-owned weapons as well. I think Admiral Yamamoto said it best (assuming this is the correct quote), "You cannot invade the mainland United States, there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."
