well let not forget about the army officer’s good old boys club and all this teco no war junk is that junk, having served in both the marines, and the army. most of the stuff goes to lowest bidder and wins and the general has some stock options, and that is the truth.

FINALLY, a comment worth reading. Comment on the subject of the body armor and pick some other related article to post this crap. ALL it does is seem to say you know absolutely nothing about body armor so you attack the messenger.
How do you modify the test when the goal is the same, stop penetration of the round. The hard plates either flexible or non-flexible still are mainly meant to stop the projectiles from rifles. The soft armor is meant to stop the shrapnel. The armor needs to be able to stop multiple hits and not fall aprt while wearing it up to the time it performs it’s intended job.
AND having just retired in 06, I prefer to see this guy that can manage the program just where he is. IF we can keep him there and NOT have a fit and trim officer pulled OFF the line to perform this mission great. Maybe ya’ll forgot but there are a few wars going on and using him for his brain is the mission he is performing. NOW, if you don’t think he has the brain to perform the mission is another thing but his weight does not affect the performance of THIS mission.

If, as Napoleon said: ” the Army moves on its stomach “, and this briefing nerd is an example of the US Army, then the US Army must be the fastest moving thing on the planet.

“That may well be a fine manager, but the US Army has always depended on fine leaders. The process that put him on stage to explain to the press needs serious review.“
I’ll drink to that (at least in the abstract… I don’t personally know this particulat guy). I got out after my first exposure to General officer leadership. The process that puts stars (and birds) on people needs work.

The message on General Groves is from some other Dennis.
General Groves was in the military when we had an 8 million man Army. Today the active force is less than 540,000. General Groves didn’t give press conferences. By and large, photos of General Groves are of him in Class B or better uniform. I have a great deal of respect for those who served in “The greatest generation”. I have a lot less respect for those officers who survived the drawdowns of the 80’s and 90’s. I served with many of them and the best and brightest were told to walk or quit out of disgust.
That may well be a fine manager, but the US Army has always depended on fine leaders. The process that put him on stage to explain to the press needs serious review.
I am no longer the steely eyed killer that I once was, but god help me, I don’t look like that.

Not to disagree with you all, but I am am going to.
On the Fat issue.
General Groves in the 40’s was a fat turd. But they let it slide since he was an amazing organizer.
Who is General Groves? Organizer of the Manhattan project.
On the plate issue, we all know the fix was in. When your giving billions out in grants people call you and whisper sweet things in your ear about after retirement.…..

Is that General Mark Brown? I’ve seen him speak, and I don’t trust that guy any farther than I could throw him.
