The disks where missing, the media keeps saying that a Mustang was stolen. In the end it is all perception and private corporations can control perception much better than government run organizations. You need to get this through your heads, it is all perception.

It could be time to accept the reality that the United States no longer has the capabilities, infrastructure, or human resources that are needed to be ensure the arsenal. One possibility is for complete privatization, we just hand it over to a private company and let the free market enforce the rules. I bet there would be no more WIPs, stolen mustangs, NIFS, lost disks, and if anything like that happened some heads would role. We would save the taxpayers a load of money as well. Tell me where I am wrong?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
