Yeah but that’s just the same kind of unqualified broad answer. Then there’s someone blaming the government for spending so much money during peacetime. Then someone will say that military spending is such that they ought to be able to. And someone will say the Stinger is 50 years old and they should be building something entirely new instead. And nobody can actually quantify any of their feelings on the matter.
