The Armed Forces Committee makes decisions based on cronyism as much as national defense, hence Jim Inhofe pushing for us to keep oversized fighters we don't use and no one wants, trying to revive artillery systems that have been killed by multiple SODs and that no one wants, and opposing the Navys experimentation with alternative methods of fuel (the navy has been very successful fyi). Inhofe bitches about the cost of going green, yet he pushes for production of systems that are absolute CRAP. The number one cause of death in Afghanistan and Iraq is/was IEDs against mounted movements, and the number one mounted movement in Afghanistan and Iraq are FUEL CONVOYS. So yeah, eat a *****, Inhofe.

Oh, and even though the due date for owning a set of dress blues for the army has not yet arrived (we changed over from the greens a couple of years ago, blues are being phased in).... the Army is now talking of a new class A uniform. They are also working on a contract for a new PT uniform, and this one os only a few years old and works just fine.... I'm sure there is no cronyism here at all, nothing to see here, move along
