I agree that the comment came across as from some one without skin in the game themselves. But I also believe the current procurement process is broken and after spending time using these systems I don’t hold the people building them responsible, but the Admirals, Generals, Executives, and Politicians who smooze at places like Tailhook and shoot down opposition to the status quo. The parent may be right that we won’t course correct until a catastrophe happens. All industries have issues, but the military isn’t an industry and deserves better for $1.6 Trillion. This report is terrifying and exemplifies the sad state of the military’s conventional weapons systems. But agree that most those in defense are often trying their best to do good.

>Maybe write some weapons systems or work with people that do and you would have a different perspective.

Given that that's not really reasonable, maybe you want to give us some perspective? You can't go around accusing others of low effort comments and then not provide any insight yourself.

It's possible for every coder to be committed and the system as a whole to be a disaster due to poor integration or even decisions at the contract or legislative level.
