The New York Times has recently published a map showing where all the military surplus gear has been purchased throughout the country.
 
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/08/15/us/surplus-military-equipment-map.html?_r=1
 
Seattle's King County purchased:
 
201   night vision pieces
120   assault rifles
115   body armour pieces
   2    helicopters
   1    mine-resistant vehicle 
 
 
....a mine-resistant vehicle?
 
See how your home county fared.
