Let's face it, folks, the Ada effort had us fooled for decades
into thinking that the DoD had a handle on software, 
development environments, project management, etc.
We ignored the evidence from things like ICASE and
STARS because Ada seemed to indicate that they'd at
least gotten the basics right.  Now that the current program
manager fad is C++, we hear their brain-dead justifications
for it and realize how deluded we were.  Sic transit gloria Ada.
