I'm not saying stop all military R&D, I'm saying "Why the gently caress do we need ICBM interceptors and billion-dollar air superiority fighters?" Have you not been paying attention for the past decade? Russia and China aren't napping when it comes to military technology. Our spending process is hosed up so we have definite unnecessary losses but you can't nap on this poo poo or else you play even more expensive catch up if you actually need a new system (expensive in lives and financial costs). Our ICBM interceptors could always use more work by the way. It's not like their success ratio is particularly in our favor, it would sure be nice if we had a hope in hell of stopping more missiles in a nuclear exchange.
