    No. You're wrong. What amounts went to something like a super carrier? A new sub or two? Those are HUGE tickets.

    There's R&D projects as well that consume billions all on their own.

    Satellites and other weapons for space.

    Last year the Air Forces out of atmosphere glider landed after like 3 months, no one even knew it was up there, and it's been around for years.

    Take two different expenses and think which one involves more trucking.
    Scenario 1. A big training exercise at fort Polk involving 1500 troops and all their gear/Humvees/apcs/etc etc.
    Scenario 2. Selling at a huge loss 15 black hawk combat helicopters to Pakistan.
