This is all infuriating to read as a civilian. This is what we get for all the billions we pour into the military?

At least some heads rolled for it. But based on what I'm reading here, the problem is systemic.

But what you also get is everything that didn't end in disaster, for which you paid a lot less than you should have, because they skimped on maintenance, training, downtime, upgrades and so on.

I understand where you are going but is this true? Did we really skimp on that or did we instead put into place a culture that is causing busy work and ineffective procedures that could be fixed with the people and resources we currently have?
