Star Wars 7 coming in 2015
SubaruStephen:
Buying lots of stuff doesn't mean you're buying the most advanced stuff...
GarandMarine:
Right... because America's military isn't quite literally the bleeding technological edge. We're approaching rail guns, combat ready laser weapons, exo-skeletons and fuck only knows what DARPA has sealed away in their labs. The defense industry has always massively advanced tech.
Kugai:
And expensive flops
REALLY expensive flops
Then there's the JSF.
Neko_Ali:
They have Gundams on display.

We've been "approaching" that stuff for 30 years and some of it actually works, yet the standard weapons for the armed forces are M16s, various sniper rifles, and pistols.
Because bleeding edge tech is expensive, finicky, full of bugs, and easy to break.
The low tech, cheap and reliable stuff will always be the choice of the battlefield.
No matter which Galaxy that battlefield exists in.
