about the burn rate of our high tech weapons in Trump's War against Iran. As an example, the article cites the Tomahawk Missile, reporting that: "The most recent versions of the missile can cost as much as $3.6 million a piece and require up to two years to build."

In the article the Tomahawk, because its versatility, is described (in my words) as the "Swiss Army Knife" of US missiles. Of course Kegseth and his toadies respond to concerns about stockpile depletion by saying, nothing to see here, time to move on.

While we probably have the most capable military in the world, the same cannot be said for their civilian overseers. The problem here is brain rot at the very top.
