I’ve often said that if the Feral Gubbmint got the same value for everything it buys as the B52, the 1911, and the M2 that our taxes would be less than 1%.

I can vouch for the 1911. My grandson spoke highly of his USMC M2.

I don't know if this still holds true, but when I was in the Army back in 90's, I read the last Department of Defense project that had come in ahead of schedule and under budget was the C-141 Starlifter.

The last of those were retired in 2006.
