MRAPs are too expensive but that fat shit Murtha gets to send pork home. What BS. “I heard the traitors in congress bitching about how much this stuff costs, as far as I’m concerned the military should get a blank check for anything they want!”

When it comes to R&D, the military should not be given blank checks. Entire projects become money holes that can lead to nothing, and it has happened. Remember the Comanche helicopter or the one of our mobile artillery platforms. (The name escapes me at the moment) Lots of money went into those but they were never used.

Get it done!! As far as cost goes, this is the same congress that put together a spending bill where 45% is going to social programs and entitlements. Pure pork. They have no room to talk about cost. 5 billion is a fart in the wind for the federal budget. Now thats go ol fashioned Yankee know how!!!!! Get it done!!

And i agree with all of you, saying these are too expensive is like saying our men and women over there have a price tag on their lives, they do not. Everyone who serves knows the risks but none want to die, I can guarantee you that.

There are several companies who want to build these vehicles and that's what is holding up the show. It IS a money issue. You can thank the Dummycratz party and the competitive contract rules of military contracting for the delays. Fucking dipshits.

They are ramping up production and hiring hundreds. It is getting there, but worse than WWII, we are fighting the defeatocrats and MSM propaganda machines. WWII anyone that spoke against the war was labeled traitor and shunned in numerous ways. Thanks to the MSM be the largest traitor, it is next to impossible to do this without their blood sucking attorneys spending millions spewing crap like freedom of the press. :evil: Soros and others need to take note, your time will come, bastard of Satan!
