Tax money spent on it. Does it effectively make every every taxpayer citizen a shareholder? Shareholders deserve to know project spending and efficiency.

> Shareholders deserve to know project spending and efficiency

One, shareholding is a bad analogy for democracy.

Two, shareholders—and voters in a republic—delegate responsibility, including the responsibility to protect secrets. Our spooks would kill for China or Russia’s air force service records, and for good reason: it lets you exploit patterns and limitations.

How about accounability of those who manage?

Why?

vote => no accountability smells bad. As leads to misfeasance.

Was the money spent on the Sprint rocket interceptor spent well?

Yeah, that came across to me as weird take as well. Like they have a point they really want to make, but just comes across very tone deaf to the actual conversation at hand (if not just missed/ignored).

I was reading service records as what conflicts it had been in, and what it's record was during those conflicts. It took a second that they were conflating this like it was a Boeing passenger plane type of thing. oy vey! There might have been a big whooshing sound as the point flew.

EDIT: Sorry - The article was about it took 17 YEARS to work out all these bugs...

So - it reminded me of the thought of the 737max bugs that boeing is plagued with right now...
