The "Crusader" SP gun program was killed by your boy Bush.
Too much money. Priority lower than his Park Avenue tax cuts.
You would have had a heck of a time getting the Crusader into Afghanistan and then operating it there.
The arrival of the GPS bomb and then finally getting air-ground coordination and communication working is really transformative.
Before it, there was airpower, effective, but a lot of promises and claims that never panned out. Now, there's AIRPOWER.
It's simply a lot easier to have an orbiting B-52 or B-1 overhead in a lot of areas of the world than get a big 155mm SP gun to that area of the world and keep it supplied and running. And the kicker is now that you're not really losing any speed in fire support.
It was killed by Rummesfeld.
Get your facts straight and quit hiding behind the main topic to launch stupid rants against the President.
And how would you have gotten a Crusader to Tora Bora?
If Bush and co really want more money, maybe they start by cutting more taxes.
Tax cuts=more revenue= more money for more destroyers.
