Well, to come up with the conclusion that it's AFU, you'd have to believe that senior military brass, congress, or the executive branch cared at all about doing the right thing and getting the best tool for the job to the guys on the front lines. Nothing could be further from the truth. The military brass cares about pleasing defense contractors so they can make some money when they retire. Congress wants contracts, jobs, and money flowing into their districts, and into their pockets, thus Kansas' congressional delegation will ensure this never happens when contracts could go to Hawker Beechcraft instead. The executive branch cares about having the votes in congress and the dollars in their pockets for the next election. The sole purpose of the Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine on the front lines or deployed is to provide a justification for the manufacturers to produce goods, make a profit, channel that money into politicians' pockets, and turn that money into jobs for their districts and soon to retire military brass. Military deaths are only opportunities for those who have never served, will never serve, and will never have children who serve to profit handsomely as they sell the military products. Nobody cares about the guys doing the fighting that the guys next to them doing the fighting. Sad but true.
