Oshkosh Corp. vehicles appear in new Batman movie
OSHKOSH—Two of Oshkosh Corp.’s current production vehicles appear in the new Batman movie, “Dark Knight Rises.”
Company spokesman John Daggett could not disclose how many were used, but actress Anne Hathaway will be seen in one of its husky Logistics Vehicle System Replacement trucks.
The other company truck in the film is its Tactical Protector Vehicle.
The company has also had vehicles in the 2003 film “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” and has been featured on television shows on Fox, National Geographic and The History Channel.
Daggett says Oshkosh Corp.’s subsidiary, fire truck maker Pierce Manufacturing, also has had vehicles showcased on television. It has operations in Grand Chute and Menasha.
Daggett tells the Oshkosh Northwestern movies are a great way to showcase their products.

And this is a story - why?
Should we boycott Oshkosh because they supplied vehicles to a movie where people really died?

I think they should take all of the proceeds from this movie to help bury the poor people slaughtered and , pay for the medical bills to help the wounded from the horrible shooting. Do you agree ?
