Wasting tax payers money on projects that run late and over budget, I don't disagree with the vehicle being suitable for the job, change in warfare means up armour everything, next conflict and they may well be obsolete, time will tell.
The G Wagon is a great example of a perfectly good vehicle, that because we cant just buy off the shelf and have to change things, and not always for the good, we end up with a vehicle that is no longer capable of doing the job it was supposed to do in the first place. Thus the tax payer ends up paying more and more to correct issues.
Yes these short lived projects do create a small number of jobs, that is good.
