Zuwalt is to the Navy what the Osprey and the Sergeant York were to the USAF and Army.

I remember Reagan telling us that we cannot solve social problems by throwing money at them, but there seems to be no military problem that cannot be solved by throwing more money at it…

The Osprey was a system ahead of its time - it lacked the computer tech needed to make it safe to fly in transition state (where it switches from vertical to horizontal flight. That’s where so many of the crashes took place early in its program life. The craft are far more reliable now.

The Pentagon Wars are just as relevant today as it was when it was first released as a movie. Same issues and same money no object treatment.
