N2  - Monograph that explores how the civilian and military leadership of the Pentagon have debated and argued decisions on major weapons programs. Drawings on interviews with participants and archival research, demonstrated the enduring nature of these debates, despite efforts to improve, transform, and overhaul the defense planning and programming system. Last but not least, the writer also concludes with some thoughts on how the Secretary of Defense can anticipate and reduce these sources of friction, while retaining an environment that supports healthy debate
