pretty simple really…

1) the “leadership” was/is scared and don’t think things through

2) never underestimate the market place (i.e. military industrial complex) ability to create/sell things to “leadership”

4) sadly the general public has ADD, and is economically and politically illiterate

5) GoTo step 1
