I don't know a lot about this specific system. I won't try to call it a good system, or the money spent a good deal, because I really don't know if either is true. OTOH $2bil for a major new weapons system isn't a very high amount of money (although perhaps this $2bil was spent with almost nothing accomplished in terms of gettign a good workable design, in that case it would be a waste)

Damn, Tim, you don't think through what you're posting any more. The truth is we can't afford our defense budget that is bigger than the combined defense budgets of the next nine countries. That's why we have a huge budget deficit. The US can not go on indefinitely playing these war games. We can not afford it and we don't need to do it.

Apparently the new design is three times as fast in water, with twice the armor, greater firepower, and higher speed on land.

Who cares? Tim, who cares? Are we planning to invade an island nation? Is there some country planning to do an ocean invasion of the US? Why the hell do we need a $1.7 billion amphib. vehicle that is three times faster than the old one and it doesn't even work right?

I am sick to death of you hawks. This army crap has to stop. You guys are out of control.

Read 1984......we are becoming Oceania.
