"The Pentagon Complains About Contractor Quality?" How about this? Why don't you try paying us more to deliver working weapons on-time and on-budget instead of paying us more to drag out development for years or even decades and for jacking costs through the roof? I mean, hell, if you didn't want crappy products delivered years late, why do you pay us more for them? Are you a bunch of abject idiots, or just a bunch of useless bureaucrats that don't want their cushy procurement gig to end lest they should end up in Afghanistan being shot at? Either way, I'm more than sick of hearing you complain about a problem you could fix if you had the stones to do it.
