We put all our money into either weapons that will not float or will not fly - but they are very expensive and we need more like them if we ever hope to equal the Russians ...
You don’t need to tell me that. We also have self-imposed taxes (like racial quotas and similar contract requirements) which results in an army of well-paid but TOTALLY INCOMPETENT people driving up the cost of hardware - to the point where we are likely to get CRUSHED if we get into a shooting war with either Russia or China (or maybe even North Korea).
We could keep the dollar spending on the military CONSTANT, and get triple our value - if we would elect someone that would take that path...
