Opinion: Time to reinvest in defense

[*pally*]

so they want the DOD to NOT invest in new technologies because the dividends might not be realized for 10-15 years. Doesn't logic dictate that you invest early so that by the time the new technology is needed, it is ready to go? Yeah Gen-1 of any product might not be the best or most efficient but what they learn from that Beta group will set up the future generations to be far better and less expensive
