Army Ordnance is the think tank to end all think tanks. They have spent the last century ignoring what really happens on the battlefield and concentrating on one mission;
How do we beat those nasty Marines at Camp Perry every year?
This is why we went to war in Vietnam with the M14 (which sucked at everything except the known-distance range at Perry), and Ordnance did everything they could to f**k up the Armalite AR-15.
(It won anyway thanks to a sound if eclectic design and the Herculean efforts of Armalite’s engineers to undo the Ordnance boys’ deliberate sabotage during the trials. See Osprey Weapon Book 14; The M16 by Gordon L. Rottman for the whole disgraceful story.)
Think tanks exist to perpetuate themselves. If anyone dares to have an original thought, they will hunt it down and slay it without mercy.
A Think Tank is much like a committee. The IQ of a committee is the average individual IQ of the members divided by the number of members.
“If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved and never will achieve its full potential, that word would be ‘meetings’.”
