Hopes Dim for BAE’s ‘Green’ Combat Vehicle

Lawmakers last week passed legislation that drastically reduced funding for the program in fiscal 2014, which began Oct. 1, from $592 million to $100 million — a decrease of $492 million, or 83 percent. The move essentially killed the acquisition program, as there isn’t enough money for the Army to move forward by awarding a production contract to one of the two companies.

That depends on if you want your tax dollars used for this project.

I find it good news.

P.S. ConcernedEuropean's comments were spot on about the US operates.

It is getting to the point that the US can not pour piss out of a boot with the directions on the heel.

Does anyone believe this is by accident ???

Until the criminals who run the system are removed, nothing will change.

GREED and CORRUPTION are devouring this country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
