As a tax payer I would be much more interested in how much extra all this infighting over which planes, helicopters, fighters, boats, etc are costing me. I would have to imagine if we just stuck with the original deals, we'd probably be millions if not billions in cash and man hours saved vs. all this political garbage going on. I would like to think that when they start these deals that the person in charge knows what they are doing when they select the platforms and trust them to get the best equipment for a reasonable price.
