    Our military budget is beyond ridiculous and one of the biggest waste of money are our own contractors. We’ve watched them charge the govt $1500 for a $10 bearing and the list of contractors has continued to shrink with a long list of acquisitions that have killed all competition. I can’t imagine what this country could be if we spend half of that budget on education and modern infrastructure.

        It’s just par for the course. There’s a reason low level commands prefer to buy things off the shelf if they can.
