Well, that certainly didn't cheer me up, but thanks anyway. :) I saw the James Fallows article make the rounds on Twitter a few days ago but I didn't read it. Most of the discussion centered on the F35. Its so unsurprising that projects like that suffer from the same sort of revolving door political corruption that Congress suffers from that it hardly warrants observing. The rest of the article is far more interesting and troubling. We don't remove generals for battlefield failures? More context please. There is a war on. Is that an old fashioned idea or are we asleep at the wheel? I need a drink...
