To be clear to everyone I did mean the F-35. I don't know why I types F-22. Now, why should the war in Syria concern NATO? The Syrians asked the Russian Federation for help and did not want NATO countries to violate their sovereignty.
Can you imagine the outcry if Iran was bombing the Yemen or bombed a hospital? But because it's Saudi was have to all keep it on the low down. This hypocrisy is one thing that really annoys people.

But ignorance is strength, is it not? That's what Dirch is basically arguing for. Apparently is get an education you'll be unemployed. It doesn't compute. I thought we were supposed to reward strivers.

I have, yeah, it's a good movie. It's not entirely true. Thankfully, regardless of initial problems, the Bradley ended up being a top notch fighting vehicle. It's taken out more tanks than Abrams have. I loved the bradley, I've been in every crew and dismount position.
That out of the way, it;s actually a good example of exactly what I was talking about. The IFV program wasn't the brainchild of the DoD. They had a mandate to develop a replacement for previous ifvs (which I also loved...my 1st sergeant still rolled around in an old flat-top even in a Bradley company) The DoD was pressured to push the vehicle at a congressional level, and they found the right brass for the job. It was only -after- that shit played out that the DoD turned it into the vehicle it is today out of necessity. Commissions, at that level, are political, their bosses are politicians deeply entrenched with suppliers.
