Reply #28: I've thought about this many times.

Eric Massa commented one Sunday about how partisan the current promotions at the Pentagon have become. Merit..schmerit. I also agree with you that it will take a mighty push to move this in another direction, and most of all, someone who knows all the players, the culture, and where all the bodies are buried. For those reasons I would suggest it will take a general to knock on that Pentagon door. Although maybe Gore would try it, but any of the others would keep their distance. Plus..plus, it will take the highest credentials standing in that bully pulpit to reclaim some of that buried money.

People may balk at considering this, but consider it we must. That's our health care so much more that's secreted in those contracts to nowhere.
