We are getting a lot of heat out of the Defense Department right now on Rumsfield, the Army, and the "Crusader" Artillery system. The problem with the Crusader is that it is too heavy and complicated. A good "Arty" system is always going to be needed, they just went over the top with this one, IMO> I hope Rumsfield wins on the Crusader, but the one system he cannot get rid of, that is really not needed, is the new Fighter. We already have the best fighter in the world, with no one in sight to use it against. However, the Air Force has their whole future wrapped up in this turkey, and their is no way it will not be built.
