Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley said he’s going to become more of a hard-liner about acquisition programs that “spiral out of control.” In an address to the American Enterprise Institute in Washington Tuesday, Moseley said that if there were “exponential growth” in the size or cost of a program, his impulse would be to “kill it.”
