The engineers recommended a "device" Israel has be field tested in Iraq as it had strong promise to stop rocket grenades. Army said no thanks, possibly because of a huge contract it has with Rayethon (spelling) to develop similar device. Something sounds very wrong and all Americans should write their Congressman about this. Many of us opine, and rant & rave on this site. Here is chance to maybe do something to help troops. Your thoughts, & rants please.

I would not make any conclusions until I got the whole story. Do you really think that NBC is going to give both sides of the issue instead of the one that suits their politics?

If they are under contract with Raytheon or another org, than it is likely the Army will be sued out the azz for using someone elses gear. It is a legal issue and almost every gov't contract has similar (exclusivity) clauses in them.

Look ....Defending the corrupt US government is a financial free for all.
Who will DEFEND the USA from the DEFENSE Dept and it's corruption. NOBODY...thats who.
When anyone objects to the corruption the crooks invoke National Defense and start waving the Flag.
Defense Dept contractors OWN so many politicians, it is obscene.
For instance . the B2 Bomber cost 2.5 billion a copy....do you think there might be a little money left over to PURCHASE a few CHEAP Senators ot Congressmen for Northrup's next project?
We are the enemy, we are the greatest threat to world peace. we do not want PEACE...and GOD does not bless our evil nation

Things like this happen at times, cost lives and are very frustrating. Sounds most unpatriotic.

no they just don't want to use them until they can be reloaded automatically instead of having to get out of their tanks to reload
