Synopsis
As an alternative to either supporting an overweight dinosaur defense industry or else letting it go extinct on its own merits, advocates integrating US industries into a civil/military structure that is both militarily and commercially viable. Gansler, former deputy assistant secretary of defense and director of an applied information technology company, says the US government should help defense companies diversify just enough to continue providing military products without depending solely on that market.
