In all fairness the TV was designed before the Afghanistan mission, it's the resistance to accept feedback from the end user and make improvements/replacements that frustrates me. I guess when it takes as long as it does to conceive, design, test, manufacture and field a new piece of kit the bureaucratic inertia is against change...
I've said before and I'll say again, I understand the limitation of the system, and even if it were overhauled and streamlined it will never be able to keep up to the private sector rate of innovation. I don't expect the Army to issue me the newest piece of kit the same time it hits the shelves at tactical stores, just stop with the repeated "no non-issued kit" decrees every few months. If the troops want to spend their own money to make themselves more effective and comfortable in their jobs then let them. And stop giving orders to the contrary that everyone ignores anyways, it only undermines your authority to do so...
