Not only that, the Bradley fighting vehicle was a notorius pork barrel thing, beloved by the military-industrial complex. It was originally supposed to be a vehicle to counter the Soviet BMP, an capable armored troop carrier. The Bradley evolved into a poorly armoured mini tank. A hilarious movie was made about development process, but I can't remember the name. One of the true facts in the movie was how the Army kept faking the shells they were testing it with, because they kept penetrating the armour!
