Trump might want to make another Call to Lockheed

Lockheed Martin Corp.’s new King Stallion helicopter for the U.S. Marine Corps is likely to cost $144 million each, 4 percent more than projected by the service, and be ready to deploy a year later than planned, according to the Pentagon’s cost assessment office.
The new cost projection for the King Stallion may become a focus of congressional oversight when the Marine Corps’ fiscal 2018 budget is submitted to Congress. Representative Niki Tsongas of Massachusetts, the top Democrat on a House Armed Services subcommittee that oversees the copter program, already has questioned the King Stallion’s basic cost as “a heck of a lot of money.”

Why are we even discussing Humvee's here? Lets talk about amphibious tracked vehicles and the like. That is what the Corps uses, not outdated HUMVEE's. How about the MRAP, will it sling that ugly beast? Or the old and tired SPAT with the 90mm HVAP gun? How about the 4 barreled ONTOS 106 mm Reckless Rifle? There was a gem! Maybe they can reinstate the "Davy Crockett" for the boys on the Front Lines, which no longer exist. Damn the 20th century!
