The challenge is that everybody has learned how valuable these things are. As I'm sure you know, it takes a while to procure things. How long would the gap be from our shipping everything off? I can see why the army doesn't want to ship off everything, and then wait 10 years for the new tanks and the new howitzers. The problem is the production lines. Everybody wants the same stuff. Even if we made fast decisions, the stuff is not on a shelf somewhere in surplus.
