What the fuck just happened. New info on 2015 budget.

Aviation Week has Hagel's outline of the 2015 defense budget.  Check out this passage....
I have also accepted the Army’s recommendation to terminate the current Ground Combat Vehicle program and re-direct the funds toward developing a next-generation platform. I have asked the leadership of the Army and the Marine Corps to deliver new, realistic visions for vehicle modernization by the end of this year.
What the fuck does that mean?  What the fuck just happened?

Is the Marine Personnel Carrier back on or not?  Not a peep of it is in Hagel's presentation.

What about the ACV?  The AMPV?  The JLTV?

Shit just got weird.
