Sorry guys for getting this stirred up...
Anyway, from my small company supplier point of view there are several problems with the military acquisition system.
There is so much bloat in the large defense contractors' world it's not even funny. (I worked for one of them out of college years ago and would be retiring with a full pension in 2 months had I stayed) Anyway, I still visit several of those large guys on a regular basis with my current job and it's unbelievable to see how damn slow they move. I think half the employees do about 8 hours of actual real work in a week, just incredible.
And yeah, friggin politics is a big problem too. No wonder the establishment is afraid of wild cards like Trump. I'm still on the fence with him, but somebody like him might just provide the shakeup needed in DC to get us back on track.
Forget political correctness and all the other BS, let's just do what's right...
