DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- A Daytona Beach suntan lotion manufacturer said

Wednesday that a large order he recently received from the Department of

Defense may mean America is headed for war, according to Local 6 News.





Paul Burke, who is owner of Sun Fun Products, said that he got an

requisition order Sept. 3, for 153,000 bottles of SPF 15 Native Tan

sunscreen from the Department of Defense.



Burke said that he normally ships 30,000 bottles of sunscreen to the

department twice a year.



He calls the order "strange," according to Local 6 News.



"I think they're getting ready to finish what we should have finished during

Desert Storm," Burke said. "It looks like they're getting prepared for

whatever to happen."



The U.S. Department of Defense reportedly said that the order for sunscreen

doesn't indicate an immediate need, Local 6 News reported. The agency

routinely purchases expendible items based on supply and demand.



Government officials are expected to pick up the order later this week,

Local 6 News reported.
