Well hell. Let's just have one tank for every person in the Army then. Can't go wrong with too many of 'em!




Nice slippery slope. Although entirely off base.

You obviously have no idea the time it takes to get a project rolling in the gov't. First the RFS, then the bid time, then the design faze, then the infrastructure setup and material aquisitions. Then the personal aqusition and training, and finally they start. Private industry can get things done in a fraction of that time frame, but thanks to gov't tape it's not nearly that fast.
