there's a long list of reasons why Congress is right in this case.  I don't have time to type it all out right now, but it'll be on GrogNews by the end of the day (it's been on 'hold' since I stopped to fix dinner last night)
The key to surviving this site is to not say something which ends up as someone's tag line - Steelgrave

This is an interesting article detailing the problems behind simply cutting tank production when the Army says it doesn't want any more tanks.

Too complex to summarize with a single quote from the article. Suffice it to say that Congress isn't listening to its generals.

Def worth a read.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I just posted this article on the same topic in the politics section. We probably should merge these two.
