@sickburnbro I get a strong feeling the military industrial complex got far too complacent with all the years of the US being unchallenged by other countries militarily. The people in the military and the defense contractors must have been thinking that they could just coast on being number 1 and milk the government for more money while not caring about delivering results.
Not anymore. We have challengers now. If they do not fix things quick, then the US will not be a "superpower" anymore.
