LOL, oh no! Political interference in the military industrial complex? You don't say! If only those pesky politicians would stay out of it the market would determine the price of tanks and tank parts and there wouldn't be any problem. But nooooo, the politicians had to get involved to create a standing army, determine how much they're willing to tax and spend for things, and the industrialists just have to throw up their hands and take what meager scraps they can get, leaving them no choice but to cut corners to make a living.
