Whats with all the army corruption?

Question

the acu's are lame. the m-16 weapon system is 50 years old. dragon skin is not issued. the ROE's are getting men killed. and what happened to the exo-suit i heard about TEN YEARS AGO?!

Answer 1

ACUs work in the enviroment where the wars are: desert and urban terrain. M-16 is a proven system. Dragon Skin's glue melts off in extreme conditions such as Afghanistan and Iraq, the ROEs are appropriate. Exosuits? There were supposed to be robots serving me in a restaurant by now too. Ironic how someone called "illegal immigrant" is screaming "corruption."  

Answer 2

Write your congressmen.  One of the big issues is funding, not to mention the new technology has to be tested and certified for use before it can be acquired by the military.  Theoretically this keeps us from getting gear that's falling apart before it leaves the manufacturer (though we all know that happens anyway).  Unfortunately, it's corruption that's not just limited to the Army.
