Fix 'em n Return 'em!
The Stryker forward repair activity, run by General Dynamics Land Systems under direction of the Army Materiel Command’s Army Field Support Battalion-Qatar, presented the first two refurbished Strykers to Army inspectors recently.
“Based on the vehicles coming across the assembly line they are all pretty much designated to go to future battalions . . . the vehicles have to be produced from somewhere,” said Mike Manzara, General Dynamics acting site supervisor. “So these battle-damaged vehicles provide an essential service by maintaining the vehicle requirements in theater.”
How much you want to bet that General Dynamics' repair bills will be over $1 Million per damaged vehicle? OTOH, maybe they'll get it right this time.
Just remember, that (rifle, pistol, vehicle, etc.) was made by the lowest bidder (and these days probably the most PC and environmentally friendly one).
Not that I'm cynical about defense contractors or anything... Our stuff is still better than most anything out there but for what the taxpayer's pay, it should be THE BEST right from the git go.
