I think the fundamental issue here is that the military have the experience necessary to identify what the requirements are to perform their mission. None of these statement of requirements for significant projects is done without the most serious consideration for all of the issues that are related to them.
The statement of requirements is a fundamentally important part of the process. I think it's important for the government to recognize the military expertise in developing that statement of requirements. If the government ultimately chooses not to satisfy the requirement, due to funding or other reasons, then it's of course for the government to decide. But I think to respect the military's judgment in that and to accept it is very important.
