"The Army's Year 2000 program could fail because of management
problems, an incomplete test plan and other reasons, according
to a General Accounting Office report released last week."

So much about the better ability of a centralized planning system
to look ahead.

I wonder what the consequences for the US military standing may
be. Probably just some embarrassment and loss of respect/fear
from potential enemies - nothing that can't be fixed by intense
politicking and extra few hundred giga$ in defense spending -
the ability to profit from its mistakes does look like a
special skill of the State.
