I think we agree on something. I'd also go one step further. If we get into it with North Korea, which side will the Chinese be on?

The military hummers are produced by AM General , the consumers hummers are made by GM, so the military has no worries

GM bought the license for the Hummer brand from AM General in 1999 and started selling the $140,000 H1, a 7,600-pound (3,400-kilogram) SUV patterned after the all-terrain military vehicle popularized for road use by actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, now California’s governor.
