US military spending isn't meant to benefit the US or its military. It's meant to benefit defense contractors and the politicians they finance.

People have been sounding the alarm since Eisenhower, but nobody listens.

Damn that sucks. This was going to be a really big win for right to repair.

If your strategy is to hamstring the US military industrial complex it's actually brilliant though.
