the pork must flow.
If 100 mraps were slated to be bough by the military and now only 25, then those other 75 have to be sold to another government department.
This is about pork and keeping the pork flowing.
who makes MRaps? who is the senator? who is the congressman? who is the donor?
This is solyndra.
MRAPS are made by BAE Systems and Navistar Defense. BAE makes the RG Series MRAPS. Navistar makes the MaxPro MRAP.
I used to work for BAE Systems on the MRAP, JLTV, and NLOS Cannon Programs. Ours were made in Sealy TX. Navistar makes theirs in West Point MS.
