Maybe so, I’m not familiar with the vehicle programs. But FCS included a lot of technology such as more UAVs and MAVs (Micro Air Vehicles) that would provide intel and keep troops safer. Fortunately I think some of these aspects are being funded separately.

I guess my point really was just to compare the potential value of a major investment in national defense vs. the piddling-away of resources on the alleged stimulus which won’t stimulate anything other than bigger government.

The "big bang" theory that was FCS was a big bust. I was involved from the early days and there were too many low tech vulnerabilities to the high tech solution.

Our warfighters will get the best of the ideas, if Bambi and the Commies are throttled.
