Here, here. Ask yourself this too. Where are the military people who run these programs going when they leave service, especially the senior people? These defense contractors. They have a conflicting interest in saying the systems work or they believe in them. It is self-serving. The military culture is no different than the one in here at times. Don't agree with the program, speak out, you get attacked, shunned and assigned to Thule, Greenland.
