/. geeks decry military logistical decisions.

Oh, and government intervention in the pharmaceutical industry is an obvious example of the failure of free markets. Not the point of the article over at TechDirt, but definitely the view of some of the commenters. Couldn't be that government regulation has made it more profitable to focus on marketing instead of research, or more efficient to buy favorable legislation instead of competing in the market, or that the government has given them every stinking incentive to behave the way they do.

Urgh.
