I disagree - but just because we have some BADASS pieces of tech in our arsenal

For the cost of 1 of those missiles we can buy 47 155mm artillery shells. I love our precision systems and the unique capacity it allows the US to operate in. However financially it’s not sustainable and clearly those expensive missiles aren’t what Ukraine was asking for as much as artillery shells.
We need to be more strategic about how much we spend on defense for fear of crumbling under the weight of our own finances.
Yes! Better fiscal defense planning is in our best interest. We run a large amount on war economy which is unsustainable long term. It's starting to look like Russia at some defense contractors - pocket the money and keep promising tech that can't deliver. We can't keep slipping or eventually you're at the bottm
