 Phil,

 <And it just may be that
 the aforesaid 'tude' is why no one at the USMC will
 listen?

 "OK, all you ignorant god-for-saken fools. I, the
 'ONE&ONLY KEEPER
 OF THE TRUTH' have arrived & will now enlighten you!
 Rejoice, for
 now you won't have to act like brain-damaged retarded
 morons anymore. On
  top of that I have years & years of paper studies to
 back up the
 ultimate wisdom of my assertions!"<

 Thanks for
 that. I'll use it next time :-)

 Actually I
 mostly based my desings on the USMC and some US Army
 manuals.
 Because I was
 aware of the GFC in 2007 and the US DoD was not, I based my
 design in the first place on the perception that it needs to
 be affordable (after correspondence with a USAF colonel who
 wrote a book on the subject).
 There is
 virtually no advanced technology in my design. Most of the
 'advanced' stuff is in the doctrine, or 'soft
 ware' if you wish.

 To criticise
 me as being arrogant, you first need to understand how the
 particular program that I started off performing analysis on
 came about and developed. You don't know this, and I
 would say that those who were in charge in 1996 didn't
 know either. Certainly the GDLS project staff didn't
 know. Even my USMC expert knowledge colonel (a  marine
 tanker) had to pull the info out of the deeper recesses of
 his memory.

 I have done
 the 'shovelling', so I can be arrogant to say I have
 done the work.
 As for paper
 studies, where do you think DoD projects come from? Most at
 one stage all 'looked good on paper'.
 The USMC has
 been running Analysis of Alternatives studies for four years
 now, all 'paper studies'.

 You think the
 US Army operational wing colonels have an engineering
 workshop somewhere at Ft Benning they all run down to to
 weld up a prototype when they see fit?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Which only means that you're just another guy who's done a 'study'.

Naturally you will think that your baby is the 'cherry on top' but so does everyone else!

Statements like " I have done the 'shovelling', so I can be arrogant to say I have
 done the work." is guaran-damn-teed to turn off whoever you're speaking to 'cuz it implies that if they weren't so stupid they'd be able to see how good your baby is already.
HINT: insulting folks like that is NOT going to get you what you want.

Look, you think you're the first 'know-it-all' guy to show up w/ a 'holy grail'?
GET REAL, anyone w/ any kind of experience has already heard that claim many, many times & some have been 'burned' when the bought into it.

You can't realistically expect anyone to take a leap of faith (drink the kool-aid) just on your say-so. And esp not when you take the position that everything that person has learned is WRONG(tm)!

Besides that, they're just as likely to think that they're the one who's knowledge is superior, their beliefs are valid, & therefore treat you w/ the same amount of contempt that you display towards them.
