#1 Interesting article although the author has trouble with math. 100,000,000 is a hundred million.

100,000,000,000 is a the real figure. 100 billion

#2 Small problem. Wgen the B1 was used on Afganistan the mere cost of the wear and tear of the bombers exceeded the value of what they had destroyed.

#3 Witht the article's focus on financial political tit-for-tat among the bigs, and the recent protest against Oshkosh being awarded a vehicle contract, I figured the reasons = $100 bills.

The increase in graft and decrease of the dollar may have Warthog closer.

#4 Drones should be cheaper than a cessna. To get them airborne pull them up with a glider tug.
The whole airf[o|a]rce seems to be porcine.
