Certainly it will shake up the "business as usual" good ole boys network that my father fought when he was head budget officer for PAC/AF. But if anything is ripe for much needed change it is how we procure weapon systems and outside contractors who do whatever the military feels would free up more troops for the front. Never in the history of the US armed forces has our country relied on outside contractors to the extent that we do now. It is shameful and dangerous that they are not held accountable for their actions. I want no loose cannons out there doing anything in my name.MRMacrumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414173517957120477noreply@blogger.com
