One of my best buddies is a mid-level exec at Boeing/Lockheed/Northrop. I just met him a week ago and we had a discussion about the utter waste of Tax Payer dollars in these companies. He was getting compensation beyond his contributions (par for the course in large corporations), but his job was to make sure billable hours continue to exceed the budget - like a boiling frog, projects continue to get delayed bit-by-bit and after 10 years you realize that your program is 3x over budget (F-35 Program?).
I want SV/Texas enterpreneurship to completely dismantle the MIC and start afresh. Even if you disagree with defense applications and its ramifications, simply from ROI perspective (tax payer dollars), instead of increasing military budget, we should be asking how can we do more with current budget. Or even cut down the budget and expect 2x more productivity from these fat military contractors with moats like no other.
