“When faced with a 20 year threat,

the government responds with a 15 year plan,

in a 6 year defense program,

managed by 3 year personnel,

attempting to develop a 2 year budget,

which in reality is funded by a 1 year appropriation,

(which is typically 1-6 months late),

actually formulated over a 3 day weekend,

and approved in a 1 hour decision briefing.
