[Music] we have met that objective and then some the Bradley armored personnel carrier will bring troop to a combat zone swiftly efficiently and safely it will hold 11 men plus a driver and features a 20 mm Cannon which will provide ample Firepower and at the same time flexibility lightly armored speedy and solidly engineered our troops will be arriving at the battlefield and the Very finest American Technology has to offer and at a million and a half per a real bargain nice work Colonel outstanding damn [Music] impressive in other words it was designed to be a
big taxi cab Drive guys to the battlefield and go back [Music] home but how did it end up with a Turret on top [Music] well this is all well and good Colonel Smith but something wrong General well with this gorilla in production I don't suppose there's going to be anything left in the budget for my Scout down it Bob you don't need Scouts you have radar air recon satellites you always need a scout and you know what I'm thinking why couldn't this thing serve as a scout but it's a it's a Troop Carrier General but
this is a speedy vehicle why can't it be both well for one thing it's too big and for the other you can't really see out all that much from inside sounds like a design flaw to me design flaw no no we we'll just stick a turret on top with lots of optical but then sir it it'll be even bigger well what's your problem Smith not elegant enough for you well uh the thing is General it's kind of hard to do a sneak and Peak when you're over 10 ft tall he's got a point Bob well
all I know is we need a scout this is fast enough to do the job and it's funded well um actually we're a hair over budget you turn the Bradley into a scout we're going to be selling them off to some El Presidente chimy chunga in no time anything for surveillance ends up South of the Border before the paint even dries when you needed that anti-aircraft gun who backed you up on that you did Bob and who testified to Appropriations on behalf of that gun you did Bob I'm talking to Appropriations next week now do
I sell you on my Scout or do I not you did Bob and how about some portoles along the side for individual Firearms so the fellas can stick out their guns and shoot people good and you know what Colonel we already have the turret we ought to get the biggest bang we can up there I'm sorry bang sir you can't hurt anybody with that pansy ass gun add on some Firepower where am I supposed to fit the extra ammo I don't know can you just shift things around make some room you already got 4,400 rounds
of machine gun ammo now you want to add 25 mm shells General wants his ammo he can't have his ammo unless he runs alongside this thing caring it well can you just squeeze it in no oh come on just squeeze it in we're not trying on Levis here Colonel are you telling me that in a vehicle this size you can't find room for a few rounds of ammunition not in its current configuration no sir so the configuration's wrong there must be something you can dump dump sir something you don't need General the interior is very
spare besides the ammunition and the men Maybe leave one of the fellows behind put the ammo where the men go sir it is a Troop Carrier so make a couple extra trips what's the [Music] difference they want a transport that doesn't carry men and a scout that's got a cannon as big as a tanks on it and Port holes oh great Port holes so the guys can shoot out whatever they can't hit with their Cannon you don't have to buy the damn thing Jones just draw [Music] it that's one hell of a cannon that's a
problem you're not why you go out in a battlefield with this PE sticking out of your turret and the enem is going to unloading you with all they got might as well paint a big red Bullseye inside but it's a Troop Carrier not a tank do you want me to put a sign in it in 50 languages I'm a Troop Carrier not a tank please don't shoot at me this was going to be so beautiful that's good work Smith looks perfect to me thank you sir thing is yes General looks a little like a tank
with that cannon on top uh probably going to draw more fire actually sir that has come to our attention we know it's not a tank but will the other side I guess we could always stick in the armor toughing up the hide a bit Colonel Smith could you explain why you put those portoles there uh yes sir as per your request so the men could shoot out um at the enemy you're joking you besides Port holes what are we in now the Navy say you think you could make this thing amphibious you know get the
troops across a river no uh no sir no no no no no no amphibious the Bradley supposed to swim in theory at least amphibious Troop Carrier SL scouch slash tank couple more months I bet they can get this thing to fly what's this in the margin please help me I am losing my mind RLS Lieutenant Colonel Robert Laurel Smith head of oversight and development aluminum this thing's got an aluminum skin huh anything an enemy tank Fires at is going to go through it like a hot knife through butter we're doing the specs on using steel
rather than aluminum of course steel is much heavier than aluminum so it won't go as fast no we can't lose speed we lose speed it won't work as a scout vehicle it won't keep Pace with M1 tanks either thicker armor is a reactive measure let's think proactive here I say equip the thing with anti-tank missiles then it can blast those enemy tanks before they get a chance to fire what do you think Colonel fine anti-tank missiles I don't know where do I put them the men will have to wear the missiles as hats I don't
know Jones it's why you get paid the big bucks Colonel there's no room we're not talking about about a pair of Levis I know I know God damn it what we are talking about is 11 years with nothing to show for except that also the size of the District of Columbia and a career that's on permanent hole you see this I've been I've been a bird Kel so long I swear I'm growing feathers now if you have to design hats to hold those goddamn missiles then just do it [Music] [Music] uh ladies and gentlemen if
I can have your attention please if you'd all just take your seats thank [Music] you we are pleased to present a scale model of the new Bradley Fighting Vehicle [Applause] [Music] featuring Scout two transport an anti-tank capabilities it carry six men how many was it supposed to carry 11 Bradley is outfitted with the most sophisticated surveillance equipment ever developed it is also equipped with a rapid fire Cannon and an anti-tank rocket launcher which means it's loaded with 1,500 shells and 10 toe anti-tank missiles so ination gentlemen what you have before you is a troop transport
that can't carry troops a reconnaissance vehicle that's too conspicuous to do reconnaissance and a quasi tank that has less armor than a snowblower God has enough ammo to take out half of DC fantastic congrat
