Earlier this year Cong. Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, pledged that a record $447 billion for military spending would show that fiscal 2005 would be "the year of the soldier." Some considered this a welcome departure from business as usual on Capitol Hill, where every year is "the year of the contractor." http://www.thebulletin.org/issues/2004/ja04/ja04paine.html
