Galla's acquisition programs are just a series of eternal Big Fives.
Or Big Sevens maybe.

the general gist i'm getting from this is "don't dwell on the failures"

No, it's the opposite.
He's emphasising the failures so people realize that Big Five wasn't a golden age. It's a "warts and all" analysis.
e: Apache/Advanced Attack Helicopter is especially egregious since it cost more than the entire FCS fiasco at an astonishing $22 billion FY12.

i meant what he was saying was that use the DoD has been beset by failures of late but that it has so in the past as well.

I'm thinking about three scenarios: 1) The commander-in chief is a completely separate position, or is also a position held by the defense minister/war minister. 2) The entire government as a collective body can decide whether or not to go to war, or 3) the people are the ones who decide whether or not they want a war.

I have also heard that modern submarines have multiple crews, is the same true in the 20s and 30s?

Lots?
It's a rather complicated answer if you want an exhaustive one, because militaries do lots of things. You need quartermasters to manage supplies, personnel to manage transfers, clerks to handle basic office tasks, trainers and drill instructors in your basic training and advanced training facilities, construction and maintenance crews both for the bases and for the ships and other equipment, a corps of staff officers to handle planning and support duties, security personnel to protect your bases, etc.

Yeah, this stuff makes sense. But could I use civilian dockyard workers/contractors for maintenance without using up my precious military-recruitable population?
