Old News Worth Revisiting

This is nothing new, but it’s worth revisiting now and again. For the monthly cost of the war in Iraq, conservatively estimated for our purposes at $8 billion, the Pentagon could buy:

10 F-22A Raptors ($150 million each)
23 F-35 Lightning IIs ($100 million each)
4 Littoral Combat Ships ($650 million each)
1 Zumwalt Destroyer ($1.5 billion each)

… and still have $100 million left to help us feel good about the Air Force.
