I love watching Congress fuck over the Pentagon. Just the worst people in the world slapfighting over fake money. Probably a bad idea to let hundreds of lead huffing jet ski dealers whose only qualification is buying more TV add time than their opponents run a global empire.
My favorite instance of this was the US Army begging congress not to buy more Abrams tanks because they were already too expensive to maintain but congress overruling them and ordering them to buy more to keep the factories open.
Abrams printer go brrrrrrr![brrrrrrrrrrrr brrrrrrrrrrrr](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/3897ea93-6af9-4fee-9511-b0345fea8453.png)
Just like the coal industry.
