Nothing wrong with the "show me" position, so long as it is tempered by the "somoeone has to have a good reason to do that" position as well! 
I just don't think anyone has a good reason to invest the money, unless a .gov organization gets serious about offering the best possible option for the troops. (I'm not implying that the Grendel is that option, only that it would at least need to be evaluated if someone was looking for it.)
As an example, how many pistol trials have been announced, only to have companies spend gobs of money, and then have the government decide, "Lets just order a bunch more Berettas!"

You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
