Ah yes, but the pigs at the trough don't care about logic, they don't care if it could be used. Just spend that taxpayer money regardless. Personally, I'm ashamed of the house directing Rumsfeld to continue a project he has determined in NOT what the military needs right now.

Jeeze, WHEN are these people going to put the American people first?

I concur.

``I suppose those who would seek to make a point on behalf of Crusader would say `if it had been there, with it's range and with its rate of fire, it would have been a very effective weapon.' On the other side, one says that given the characteristics of that particular fight, it probably wouldn't have been there. The tactical commander decided based on weight, mobility and characteristics of the sort of systems he wanted to use.''

For all the armchair generals out there who are up in arms that we need this tactical 'ball and chain' called Crusader, just one more piece of evidence that it is not what the warfighters want out of the system.
