It wouldn't be so bad if there was a lot more oversight on the defense contractors who make the tanks, missles, etc. You know they're stealing us blind.



Avg cost each b-2 bomber... 2.2 billion :rofl:



Would you rather us have knockoffs? Or like the dented can versions?

Those bombers cost so much but they work so well. I'm not complaining. We could be like other countries and have to rely on some other country for our defenses. Instead we can sleep tight knowing our enemies will never get within a thousand mile of our borders.

If someone want to invade from the west they have to take out Hawaii, or else our navy will flank them. If they come through the east, all our bases in Europe will have to be taken out first for the same reason, and the nations which house those bases won't take kindly to those actions.

Complain about our defends all you want, at least your complaining in English and not German or Russian. Move to Mexico if you want a shit military.



I'm not complaining about the military being effective - I'm glad it is well.. effective against conventional enemies we haven't fought for 70+ years.. but a handy deterrent and insurance to have to be sure.

The point is that a lot of these things really -shouldn't- cost that much, and the companies take advantage doubly of both being intimately tied into governmental figures that profit from the sales of these weapons as well as knowing the US is fully willing to pay a couple hundred extra million. Especially in the cold war/90s.. things have gone under slightly more scrutiny lately, but I'm not sure if that's an outward appearance because they're cutting programs for more effective secret ones we don't know about?

If our military wasn't given such flagrant funding they might consider some efficiency...

I'm joking of course.

I seriously think that the cops were offered a bunch of free equipment. They aren't going to say no to free shit. If the military offered you a bunch of free grenade launchers, would you say no?

The cops gave them back as soon as someone bitched because they knew they weren't going to use them so it was pointless having them if people were going to make a scene about it.

Now if the cops told those who were concerned about the grenade launchers, to fuck off, and then launched a few grenades at them. Then tha would be an issue.

Do you know how much a nuke costs? And we have thousands of those. Not only does it cost a ton to build them, but we have to build bases and man those bases, which costs even more money. Plus the upkeep to make sure they work on a moments notice? $$$$$$$$ hella money.

And we will never, probly never ever, use a nuke ever again against anyone.

Still I think it's money well spent.

:shrug: We really only need like 200 minutemen/Tridents realistically. Maybe 200 in reserve.

There are no situations anymore where you'd get the chance to 'first strike' before the enemy could respond - they would respond in like as soon as you launched, and 200 MIRV's is plenty enough to wreck complete and absolute destruction on multiple massive countries.

We have often spent more money fighting terrorism then we do fighting heart disease which is the leading killer in America.

the reserve price is 150 bucks.  thats pretty cheap for a working vehicle. but you are right in that a lot of the best stuff is "closed bid" meaning that only one entity can "bid" on it (fired brass falls into this category a lot) I'll look around after work for the site i used to go to.  i thought it was that one, but it looks a lot different than i remember

The government doesn't want us to be in space because th can not govern us in outer space, once we become the Jetson's they will lose so much power over us. Until the United states of Mars is declared a nation....
