Posts from Tokoloshe seem to be right on the Money. R50 Bil for arms?? What for, someone going to war we dont know about. I remember looking at the Rooivalk Prototypes and seeing the same mistakes made here in the states. A great airframe, designed for the Army, with a purpose and possible sales. Then the Air Force gets its toys on there, then the Navy gets their toys. Pretty soon it looks like its so heavy it will never get off the ground and further who is buying it??
I will say we buy SA 223 ammo here in the states cheaper than we can reload it..... I just wish SA would export more of its great wine than its ammunition.....
Priorities........
I think the three Ms are right on also. Its seems here in the states evrytime I turn around We are spending a ton of money on "Memorials". Too bad folks dont learn from the memories......
