‘Didn’t watch the video yet, but I bet it boils down to poor project management.”

FAR WORSE than that. At least poor management is fixable, the problem here is SHEER ARROGANCE of the people who spent their entire lives HATING the military and thus never taking seriously the warnings given to them by the military, such as relying on our two biggest enemies for raw materials and piece parts, and having an industrial base likely now smaller than Shanghai, much less all of China...and not being able to even keep up with Russia, as Russia knew that “The End of History” was NOT here, and that they may well need to ramp up and fight.

For the US, it was about getting Drag Queens and Groomers to the front lines...and so now we pay, BIG TIME.

A simply lesson SHOULD be learned here, but won’t be, which is NOT to start a World War (as we may well be doing), unless you’re actually prepared to fight it.

You're right. This isn't the story of a bad apple defense contractor or a corrupt politician, but of a failing culture.

On a related note, John Garand was Canadian born and came to the U.S. when he was 11. He had to learn English. He was 31 when he built the prototype for a light machine gun, became a citizen a year later, and patented the M-1 Garand twelve years after that.

Some of our best procurement came from foreigners.
