I'd totally vote for that. Maybe we can take some of that contractor money being wasted and invest it in pay raises for the troops (I'd say a raise of at least 5% instead of .4% would be a step in the right direction), in a move to actually support not just the troops but their families, who in turn are powerful morale support for the troops. Not only that, but as Xeph said the Frag5's are useless. They not only cause the vehicle to break down, but they make the vehicle even more sluggish than they already are (as was reported to me from a friend who's deployed).
