It not always show much we spend but how we spend it. For the money wasted on Ford, Zumwalt and LCS we could have purchased approx. 28 Virginia class subs or 10 Nimitz Carriers or 34 Arleigh Burke Flight 3s. or 70 Constellations. How many up gunned/missile-d version of the Cyclone class would that have bought or more importantly, pilot flight time, USVs and shipyard/drydock expansions? Looking a the overall DOD budget do we really need a nuclear triad or would bombers and Boomers be sufficient. We do away with land based ICBMs (AKA fixed targets) and use that money elsewhere. How many flight demonstration teams does the Air Force need? Did the Space Force really need a new uniform or would a modification to the current Air Force uniforms suffice.? How much money does DOD spend yearly on DEI? How much money has the Navy spent on trying to come up with a work uniform (and failed) when the the Coast Guard a perfectly acceptable one they can adopt? In line with this given the light/limited duty restrictions and short time to wear (less than 9 month) why spend money developing a maternity uniform? How many FOGO and their associated staffs do we really need?
