Just too bad they didn't do the same on that jamming piece of crap M16 they issued us back in 1966!

SGT Philip Roncari Took a while to Work the Bugs out of that didn't it and I remember when the V-22 Osprey Came out and earned the Nickname of the Flying Marine Coffin. (Still Not Convinced all the Bugs are worked out).

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel -The tragedy was that while they were working the bugs out of the 16,they were finding dead Americans next to their stripped down weapons that had failed in fire fights and ambushes and then blamed us for not properly cleaning them,bullshit ,the weapon was a piece of crap.

TSgt Joe C. Looks like the Auditors did the Right Thing. You Don't Produce on Time You Lose the Contract. Knowing How Contracts and the Military go though having done a Tour as a Beltway Bandit, I don't think this Weapon System is Dead Yet. The Company Will be Heavily Penalized but they will recoup that when they finally get the system actually out to the Soldiers.
