The book to read to get an inside look at the idiocy of the Department of Defense is "The Pentagon Wars," by James G. Burton(Colonel, USAF, retired). It'll make you laugh and cry at the mind-numbing amount of waste and pettiness in developing weapons systems. Was also made into a decent HBO movie, but the book is far superior.
