Ya. I think they should investigate the lavish salaries and benefit packages of the overpaid and incompetent contractors
building this crap.

With that kind of negative attitude, nothing new would ever be built.

Yes i DO understand. Waaay more than you know. I socialize locally with some folks who work at a local firm that makes
missles. A really BIG player in the missle business. And these folks talk proudly of their latest jaunt to Disney World or the upcoming Christmas ski trip.
when I asked one recently who pays for this hardware he shamelessly and apologetically said; “well... YOU DO”. I already knew THAT. I wanted to smack the effing smug look right off his face. It makes me want to puke.
I’m ALL for making it work. Unfortunately we now HAVE to make it work because we have sunk so much money into it that it would be a waste to abandon it. That’s how all these - “we HAVE to have it” - defense programs are run. With 150K Pentagon Colonels “managing” the program. It’s ridiculous!
Cut the contractors budget by 50 percent and tell them that when they make the system operational and RELIABLE they will get a “for-performance” bonus. Then you will see them make their “engineering” staff work like Chinese coolies to get it right.
This country is BROKE! And we’re just wet nursing these bloated defense contractors like newborns.
