are they producing new hulls or fitting out existing hulls?Yup, it's a strange theory to throw around when a huge AMPV production run is just starting.

I think both and seeing which is betterare they producing new hulls or fitting out existing hulls?
Regarding military things: people on the internet say things, and one of those things I saw somewhere was that the US Military has only a limited, finite inventory of Bradley APCs - and once those are gone, they cannot be replaced as the MIC is no longer able to make them. They stopped all production of that class of vehicle long ago.
@Zachowon ?
I just learned that Catholics could enlist/be commissioned into the British army from 1778 already. I thought that had been enabled later.
Anybody know when the first Catholic reached the rank of general?
Thanks!
As AFAIK both English and Scottish Catholics do exist, could any had reached such rank sooner?
Or were these too few and peer pressure to convert too strong?
Lastly the movie, The Pentagon Wars is supposed to be satire about an idiot Colonel that wanted things done his way so he could have a bigger budget and it gets the development of the M2 Bradley totally wrong.
Might notice that Pentagon Wars is not a documentary, it's a comedy, comedies tend not to be particularly factual representation of history. Otherwise we might argue whether Red Baron really was gunned down by Lord Flasheart or not.
Yeah, the comedy/satire aspect of it is purely how over-the-top it is. So if you've read Col. Burton's book it comes off as a hilarious comedic exaggeration of what "actually happened", and you don't realize that it's complete BS unless you've looked into sources other than Burton.Doesn't help that it also was treated like a documentary. When I first saw it there was no mention it was comedy or a lampoon.
