Study Faults Army Vehicle

This reminds me of a quote from former Sen. Evertt Dirksen (R-Ill.):

A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you're talking about some real money!

Washington Post - The Army has deployed a new troop transport vehicle in Iraq with many defects, putting troops there at unexpected risk from rocket-propelled grenades and raising questions about the vehicle's development and $11 billion cost, according to a detailed critique in a classified Army study obtained by The Washington Post.
