For example, F35 cost like $2 trillion when all costs are considered, but only like $100mil each. Slight difference, right? And to the second part, that's the whole point of the thread, how much money America would save if it wasn't for these weapons.

    If the thread is about people who already agree with the point slapping each other on the back, sure, go ahead.

    But if you want to convince anyone, you may not want your numbers to be obviously made up. Putting aside that the phalanx shooting is an order of magnitude off, the same torpedo has 3 different prices one after another. Even someone who has no idea how much these things cost can see it's BS if they pay attention.
