The problem is that contractors need to be held accountable for failures, which isn't happening. There is a lot of "you've sunk 5 million into this project that doesn't work already, so what's another 1 million?" Those extra millions tend to kill projects that are actually working and accomplishing things.
We can just outsource the work to China, they can make our weapons cheaper.
