>Are politician(s) supporting them as a reason for defense cuts?
If those are the politicians actually giving them speaking time in congressional committees? Then yes. It undermines the Reformers (already amazingly questionable) credibility to be nominally all about mass production stronk while buddying up with political leaders advocating for defense cuts. Particularly at a time when the Warsaw Pact had a 3-1 advantage over NATO in armored fighting vehicles. Especially when most of those Western AFVs didn't have much of a technological edge over what the Soviets had (if anything without the techno crap the Reformers hated they were outright outclassed by the newer Soviet MBTs like the T-64/72).
Though to clarify. Senator Gary Hart *was* arguing for defense spending cuts?
