The Pentagon Wars

In the mid-1980s USAF Lt. Colonel John Burton is tasked with objectively evaluating the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, a project that has been in development for 17 years. The vehicle started off from a simple design but, due to Army meddling and Committee-Think, it has morphed into something different, something potentially sub-optimal. In the interests of saving the lives of US servicemen, he is determined to do his job as effectively as possible but the powers-that-be want him to simply rubber-stamp the vehicle so that production can begin.
