re: #697 Decatur Deb

That’s American-made armor.

Indeed. That’s an M113 Armored Personnel Carrier. First put into production in the late 1950’s by the Food Machinery Corporation of San Jose, CA, whose defense business subsequently became United Defense and was bought out in 2009 by BAE. BAE still produces the M113 and the US still buys them. Israel is also a major user, as are Iraq, and Jordan.
