Goals

All I can ask you to consider is that a LOT of good State, and other civil service employees really have tried to do the best they could with their hands tied.

I know there are a lot of great people involved in this, I even like every second general I see. We know why Afghanistan turned in to a quagmire: Rumsfeld stuck his nose in to the Pentagon & both wars got run Rumsfeld's way: Lots of bombing with minimum feet on the ground. Eventually, the wick got turned up in Iraq (the surge) after someone got Rumsfeld to STFU & Iraq is looking OK now.

As BoxVolvo said, its really all about economics at the end of the day.........it won't make people look like big war leaders, nor will large defense industry businesses get to make billions off the taxpayers.

Do you or box know how much federal money actually was/is sent to contractors & UAV manufacturers?
