Is There Too Much Duplication and Redundancy in Military Budgets?

I've never heard a better argument in my life for that age old question about whether or not there's too much duplication and redundancy by having multiple service branches. I was shocked. There is no such committee dealing with nuclear war planning. The armed services committees of the House and Senate, they get into it in a very cursory way. Nobody has shown, not even the secretary of defense, he gets a briefing on the vague outlines. And this was when first Carlucci and then Dick Cheney of all people were secretary of defense.
