"Sixteen months ago, commanders in Iraq began asking the Pentagon for a new system to counter RPGs
and other anti-tank weapons.

According to this NBC report that aired on last night's Nightly News, it seems the army is willing to
wait till 2011 or longer for Raytheon to re-invent the "wheel". That would be all well and good in some cases,
but in this case waiting for that glorious day is killing our troops and crushing their families.
