a noble cause, yours,
but left to our own devices, the american military procurement system has degenerated.
there's no competition.
middle class welfare recipients vote for the same u.s. congress people and senators who take money form northrup and lockheed.
the result is, as an article on the u.s. navy on this forum the other day detailed, an unaffordable navy.
It is just more short sighted boommers in power that cannot learn the lessons of their fathers.
