DAAAAAANNNNGG!! I like that!! Can I be one of your token chicks??
Seriously, between the folks on this board we could essentially put together one hell of a guerrilla (damn, sp) unit and probably outdo the Army at it's own job. I know it's not that easy however, I wish it were.
I was asking about different equipment in class today and why the police don't have said equipment. Guess what?? Money. We can't afford the things we know work better, keep us safer and help us to do our jobs more effectively because someone just has to get rich. Same goes for the military. If we started doing this the smart way, using our internal sources, we would be ten times more effective.
We tend to outsource the wrong things, IMO.
And it's funny to me how all of the people with the right ideas aren't the ones in politics or in charge where they could make a difference.
