The Pentagon's Wal-Mart Strategy

In a move to cut costs, the Pentagon's looking at buying military equipment from Tiawan. A group from the Comparative Testing Office at DoD heads out this weekend for Taipei to look at Tiawan's ability to compete with American defense industries. They're looking at more than 300 items ranging from aircraft parts and ammunition to satellite phones and computers. The Navy recently made waves when they chose an Italian design for the new Marine One helicopter fleet to ferry the President. (Yahoo! News)
