No word on my part re:archy. Him being 'banned' is rather strange news. Can't imagine him doing anything even remotely 'bannable.' Oh well, this should get sorted out. He may just be on a jaunt.

Re:Mambas, Damn the pork - Get the troops what they need!

[Cannoneer No. 4]

But who determines what the troops need? Obviously the men and women doing the job should be listened to, "end user input" is important, but they are usually too busy doing and too junior to be the people deciding what is available and what could be developed, tested and fielded in time to make a difference. That's what proponents and project managers are for. Instead we let our procurement be driven by emotion, media blitzes, and political pressure.
