You can not buy post 86 period, it has to be bought by your department/Government and issued to you for work.
Yep we can thank Reagan for that.
The demoncrats, led by Schumer back in 1985 had stopped money to the VA in an effort to get the pres to sign a spending bill, in which, was the rider that would kill continued manufacture of new FA's. Reagon refused to sign the bill for over a year. Yes, the demoncrats knew people were dying at the VA because the VA couldn't afford to treat them. Hollyweird even made a movie about it starring two guys as doctors who went around the hospital administration to operate on a veteran who would die without the treatment. All very well known back then. The demoncrats could have cared less. And of course the media made it all out like it was Reagon's fault and lots of stupid people believed the media.
Reagon was super-pissed as he signed the bill, he even spoke on the souless nature of the demoncrat. I watched him on TV as he did it. He signed the bill so he could get the money to the VA.
Peoples' memories are so short.
