I agree with much of that.
My concern is with mucking with the military.
Do you know how we ended up with these Chinese parts in our military systems?
Smart people forced us to buy from the lowest bidder.
Smart people forced us to contract with minority run company’s.
Smart people forced is to use Female owned company’s.
I am not dinging minorities or women, what I am pointing out is that the smart people force us to jump through ridiculous PC hoops and care nothing about the end product.
And both you and I would agree was that those "smart" people were making decisions with their PC ideology, not their brains.
Being concerned about mucking up the military is a good concern. I'm concerned about that also. But we have no choice about needing to make changes, and Gingrich is a person who understands that intelligent solutions applied incorrectly are not solutions at all.
If I heard Obama talking about implementing Six Sigma in the military, I'd be screaming against that louder than you. I would NEVER trust leftist ideologues with a tool that could inflict so much damage.
On the other hand, I'm delighted to hear Gingrich talking about using it. Again, Six Sigma is just the tool set, the question is who will wield the tools. Are we giving the paintbrush to a develomentally-handicapped five-year-old or to Leonardo Da Vinci?
