An article I wrote about Force Protection was posted on SeekingAlpha.com here. It has received a good response, although most people don’t agree with what I wrote. The main point was that due to the cyclic nature of the DoD budget some companies are caught with a hot product that is procured in large amounts for a few years and then ends. It is not the fault of the company or DoD it is just how the budget works.
