I mean brey, I think we should defund the Pentagon immediately so I don't even care but if I were "a concerned American taxpayer" right now, what I might be thinking is "wait a minute how the fuck I give you 1 TRILLION fucking dollars a year and yet you guys are out of missiles and the Navy is going broke after one six month war with a middle power?"
This is what Russia learned the day after invading Ukraine as well - spending a lotta money doesn't mean these murderbots are protecting YOU
