    The process was messy, but in the end the US Army got a weapons system that actually worked pretty well. The Bradley Fighting Vehicle was used in multiple conflicts and has had a good operational record.

  >LOL, the American oligarchs aren't much better. Just because they use a different word (lobbying instead of bribing) doesn't make it any less of a corrupt system. At least in the US, via lobbying, the bribes are transparent and you can follow the money and see who's pulling the strings. This is much better than everything being done under the table and assuming there is no corruption because we don't have lobbying, like the classical misconception we have in Europe.

    The US supreme court basically eliminated campaign finance transparency about 10 years ago. How do you think Trump and company got in?
