A single Tomahawk missile costs $2M
- We just dropped $200–400M+ worth on Iran.
- We’ve spent $1–2 billion just in munitions today.
- $2 billion would run one small rural hospital for 65 years.
- $2 billion could fund PBS for 5 years..
- $2 billion could put 45,000 students through college.
- $2 Billion could feed 2.5 million kids lunch for an entire school year.
... Imagine how big the DOGE refund checks would be if they had audited the military!
I saw a quote from President Eisenhower about this a few days ago - hardly the most "woke" of presidents either.
I remember about 15 years ago telling some lads who had been playing a 3D computer wargame about the Cold War how that when I grew up in 1980s we *could* have had all those 3D graphics cards but all the best tech was instead diverted to the military industrial complex because of the *real* Cold War (the same happened with telecoms, which delayed civillians getting the Internet until 1990s).
This is all starting to happen once again..
