Yet again our Military has come up with another grand scheme that makes NO
sense and cost tons of money.... My what a shock.....  Let me see for
$80,000 I could come up with several alternatives to anything made in
Germany.... and they wouldn't be over engineered or totally incompatible

ignorance of buying decisions ...
amazing isn't it....
