My sister is some kind of big shot on the civilian side of procurement for the military so she interacts with all kinds of retired military types who know procurement.

She is not optimistic for a rosy future.

To her, the biggest threats to a quick recovery to something recognizable to us are the country's vast resource of stupid and the increasingly inviolable bond between the military and the giant corporations. The mom and pops, small farmers and small business, for example, will be gone.
