For what?

The only thing we are accomplishing here is using up 10 years of ordnance ...

so that the M-I-C will get $200 billion more in contracts to replenish.

Ohhhh ....... Never mind. I get it.

====================

"In just 38 days of combat, the U.S. burned through over 1,100 JASSM-ER stealth cruise missiles, leaving just 1,500 in the global inventory. Over 1,200 Patriot interceptors and over 1,000 Tomahawk missiles have been expended, creating a significant strain on inventory. While the Pentagon is attempting to ramp up production, officials noted that replacing the expended Tomahawks, which were previously produced at a rate of roughly 100 per year, could take up to a decade."
