Comment[edit]

U.S. Government- The tendency of Pentagon officials to ask weapons contractors to meet excessively high requirements.

What does this mean? And why is it part of the links section?

I have removed it. May just be a casual term. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 06:39, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ending with a preposition[edit]

Revision 695479422 changed "there are the few companies that stand to benefit from it." to "but there are the few companies that can from it benefit."

There are some things about the new wording that I liked ("that stand to" seems too colloquial somehow, so the revision was better) but I reverted it because the rewording (to prevent ending with a preposition) really grated when I read it. Explaining myself here in the hopes of avoiding a grammar edit war. Hopefully we can hash out any differing opinions here. greymullet (talk) 14:18, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
