Choose One: Raytheon or Our Troops
Our soldiers are taking another hit, quite literally, all because of profit.
It's called "Trophy" and it stops RPGs, rocket propelled grenades. The weapons that are killing so many of our brave soldiers. Trophy could save their lives. Trophy is an "anti-RPG/Anti-missile protection system for APCs and Tanks," which Defense Review covered on their site in April.
Unfortunately, the Army has a contract with Raytheon to build something like "Trophy" from scratch. When will it be ready? 2011. Wait and die, I guess is the plan. Words cannot express...
Our soldiers deserve better, don't you think?
Watch the MSNBC report. It will infuriate you. As for the nonsense that it doesn't work, well, it works, but we can't have Raytheon losing a military contract now can we?. . ."
