FSA needs cut with a chainsaw but am I supposed to be upset that 107 people in the DOD got cut. Dont bet on .gov for a living when budget cuts are being screamed about. I'm guessing DOD could lose 30% of its budget and still be effective if the right cuts could be made (fantasy land I know).

This is DOD ATEC (Army Test and Evaluation Command)
Cuts in this directorate are not called for IMHO.
The 100 people cut is just the start.

But what the hell lets go ahead and field shit that has not been tested what could go wrong

Long overdue.  WE DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING ENEMIES outside of WASHINGTON DC!  Cut, Cut, Cut!  I can't fathom how people can comparmentalize and suggest the DOD needs money yet DHS does not.  Defund the DOD, CIA, DIA, NSC, FBI, DHS, TSA, SSA, BATFE, DOJ, IRS, HUD, and a hundred other unconstitutional alphabet soup agencies post haste.  Keep the VA.  Fuck the rest of these terrorists.

The time to test is not when a the lives of soldiers/sailors/airmen/Marines are on the line.

I wonder how this will effect the MSC fleet and the civilian mariners.

This.  Having spent a few years working in the "testing" end of things... you really don't to field modern equipment without it being properly tested.

LOL @ people who think national security is compromised because a ~100 people from the DoD get cut.

This country is truly fucked in their thinking, including some of those on arfcom.
