And I'm just a bozo to the Air Force brass. I wonder if we have a
senior statesman who could get their attention. Richard Rheile? Tucker
Taft? Damn, do any Congressional Medal of Honor winners program in Ada?
I did write a sincere, polite letter (postal, not e-mail) to the
Secretary but I don't expect it will get past his layer of filters. I
tried to refute his points and stressed the need for good design and
software development processe. I concluded that he should have the AF
Academy software experts or other independent group investigate the real
reason why the software was a failure.
