We build stupid they build smart. We build ego's they build prudence. We pay 500 times what they pay for a screw because, you know, the contractors SAY the screws cost that much while they GREASE palms in the hallways of the Pentagon with the leftovers. You want a fast sleek efficient lethal military machine? Cut defense spending by half period full stop.
