| Weight was starting to be a problem while I was working on the program. Actually, weight problems always begin with the proposal. All contractors want to have the best capability.

It never happens and the Pentagon gets another black eye. And, of course, there is the customer wanting more capability and contractor willing to provide it for a price. |
