Army combat vehicle plan criticized - UPI.com: "A leading U.S. congressman has questioned why the U.S. Army will require seven years to build a ground combat vehicle.
The question was raised by U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., a ranking member of the House Appropriations subcommittee who pushed the Army to roll out the vehicle ahead of the set timeline.
'I think five years is more than enough time to get this done,' Dicks said. He asked Army Secretary John McHugh to reconsider the current seven-year schedule."
