Re: Eye-watering
Yes I do understand the need for deterrence. I also understand that a $25 wrench can cost the Air Force $250 when coming from Defence contractors. So how much of the $725 million cost is ACTUAL cost and how much is grossly inflated pricing? It's not a simple binary spend/don't spend question. Oversight is lax and that 10x inflated pricing is also costing human lives, just in a less dramatic and obvious way.
