The Navy has other things to worry about like Lactivism and Pregnancy Awareness - things that actually matter. When it comes to toys to justify its existence, it likes self-sinking surface ships and planes that don’t fly right.

Read Bob Gates book about his time as SecDef - sort of - “you think it was bad from where you sat, you should have seen it from where I sat.” The whole pentagon was organized for the acquisition of systems to fight the wars that went on in their heads and not the wars that were actually taking place on the ground getting soldiers killed every day. MRAP was about the most unpopular acquisition the Pentagon ever executed except among the soldier’s who had to ride around in them, finally protected from IEDs.
