bill you are 100% dead on. but in todays battlefield people are willing to spend "what ever it takes" to keep the soldiers safe. no matter if it works or not. just look at the SAPI vest the army is issueing right now. vest and plates ($2,200.00), new helmets ($400.00ea), gauntlets and knee protectors ($1,000.00). so right now for a cook that would never leave the green zone in baghdad you will pay $3,600.00. this is political corectness gone amuck. 3,600 x 160,000 = 576 million just for body armor.
the same thing is happening to new AFVs coming to the front. shooting, moving, and communicating is taking a back seat to cred survivability. im not saying thats a bad thing, but as you can see it sometimes pushes the price up so high you dont get enugh vehicles to do the job in the first place.
