#5  Just the natural evolution of what once was called "Watermelon U" only the poor down trodden victim is changed but still the white boys fault.

#3  In one of Stephen Coonts books his comment about Navair is that he's surprised the Navy even owns an airplane.

#2  ...because they want to train, fight, break things and the rest of the bureaucracy insists that they manage stuff like budgets, tech, procurement, et al. So they get saddled with people that they insist wear a uniform which falsely assumes that 'going through the course' makes them sensitive to what 'closing with and destroying the enemy' involves.

#1  I spent 3 months at Navair about 10 years ago doing a systems project audit when they were attempting to install the SAP software.

That experience led me to understand why things in military procurement are so screwed up.

It also leads me to believe that they would DO this. Picture the most effete back-stabbing bureaucrats en masse and you have the main contingent of those in and around HQ.................then I met some of the real fighters. How the latter allowed the former to survive is beyond me.
