We only need these stupid toys to keep the Industrial/Military /Congressional complex well greased,not for any actual defense needs.
Russia has a defense budget of a whole 50 billion for the coming year and I keep reading we should be scared.
Bullshit,We spend that on one damn Aircraft Carrier alone. And so far 85 billion on a Jet that still doesn’t work up to specs.
Fire a few dozen Generals and Admirals and make them prioritize.
18 trillion in the hole and still digging,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
And buckets of money is what it’s all about.

And don’t mention that South Africa already has a robust extra long range 155mm gun system, with autoloading no less, that we could simply just go and purchase.
Sorry Drew but that wont work for me. I need to get a return on my BAE shares.
