Endless growth of bureaucracy bullshit which results in no-name shitkickers in the rear with the gear having an enormous amount of influence. You just end up having these huge departments instead of a few choice thought leaders making the hard choices.
Look at the fucking F35 for the gold standard example of this cancerous growth, the Bradley is the forerunner to that.
The acquisitions department in the Pentagon, the guys who decide what gear gets used and selected. Are probably some of the most underrated, powerful people on earth.
