I'll ask you to recall it was your idea not mine to include the AAV/SU in the OOB.

Whatever....it's now been renationalized and will not show up in the game
--it will likely be removed altogether before the next patch and if not....who cares..its re-nationalize and if slots are need down the road they can be re-used.

*I* added it as it was presented as a done deal. Yes that has happened before in the past as we try to stay on top of things but that frequently bites us...so I remain supremely disinterested in posts about the latest prototypes. I remain on the fence about many of the Russian entries but will leave them as is until we know more

It’s mad I am pretty sure USA has spent well in excess of $100 billion on canceled projects since Vietnam!!!
Wonder what the country would be like if it had been used on the public sector instead, infrastructure schools etc.
Policing maybe more Americans are murdered each year than have died in the last 10 years of conflicts if I recall correctly.

Nothing really new there. Lots of cancelled projects during WW II and while I can't think of anything specific I'm sure there were a good many during the American Civil War.

As I’m on vacation from all the FUN I’ve been having from work these past several months now I think free “milk and honey” for all here with the canceled DOD project money!! I thought it was still in the evaluation stage still. However it doesn’t surprise me ethier, and it’s ashamed because the CORPS needed the darn thing.

Have to spend the extra money on issues with the F-35, of which a F-35B crashed recently within the last 3 weeks I believe it was. Thankfully from initial reports no one was injured.

Darn IPAD ARYE 2 is too stupid to multi-task and do ‘Smilies” also!?!

Back on Vacation somewhere in upper Va. SHhhh!
