And remember how these prices are not due to the actual item,
or the Pentagon wanting to spend this much, but rather due to
the cost of the government bureaucracy put in place by the
legislative branch of the government?
Don't blame the military or NASA. Blame the Congress and
civil service. The excessive paperwork and procedures are
what causing high prices and slow advancement.
