Sure, let's eliminate these two systems - proven workhorses that have saved countless American lives with their proven stand-off capability and reliability. Of course one must also consider the systems used to fire the missiles - what - these cruisers don't have Tomahawk anymore? Well just eliminate them too. All these ground vehicles, helicopters, and drones with Hellfire capability no longer have missiles? Well let's just eliminate them too. Let's take away one of the best stand-off missiles for infantry and let them fight tanks the old fashioned way. Sure, great plan Oblumber.

Of course it opens the door for development of replacement systems - about 15 years down the road and far above the cost of current system retention. And the guy hasn't spent one second in a troops boots.....

Here's a pretty decent site that was passed along that deals with military issues such as the concerns you've posted.

www.snafu-solomon.blogspot.com

When military folks offer opinions about which overcost/non-functioning systems that should be scraped some should listen. If there are systems that are in place and do the jobs they are designed to do...you pose an excellent question...why are they up to be eliminated.

This is a reflection of the cowh/current commander-in-chief and his appointment of Hagel as Sec of Def. If they are running military budgets/operations like the healthcare fiasco....

This just defies explanation.

If you are going to eliminate a weapon, you had damn well better have a replacement in the wings.

AND....when new contracts are awarded/signed any cost increases/adjustments to the systems to deliver them as promised should be the responsibility of the manufacturer and not passed along to the department of defense...imagine the savings by just cutting out that waste.
