There is a lot of defense spending that does nothing to support that mission, or does so in a terribly inefficient way. Given the scale of spending we're talking about, many billions of dollars get wasted every year, but folks who get worked up over a few million wasted on research are often unconcerned with 1000 times more wasteful projects as long as they have the military labeled slapped on them.
- golergka 3y agoFrom where I’m standing, American defense spending is inadequately low for the current situation. US is struggling to increase artillery shell production from 15 to 30k per year, when only Ukraine conflict should consume hundreds of thousands, if not millions. Same with many other items — American and NATO stockpiles are low, and production capabilities almost non-existent compared to adversaries.
