It appears the last 13 years of war has pretty much beat the shit out of all the expensive equipment we had.

I'm starting to hear " We need a new bomber" or "We need new drones" or "We need new ____ (fill in the blank)."

They're already looking at replacing our $2.6 billion dollar B-2s.

Stealth drones, supersonic drones, stealth destroyers, new aircraft carriers, new Virginia-class submarines, new ............

NONE OF THIS STUFF IS CHEAP.
