What is your metric for evaluating "wasted cost"?

52 is the operative number.
52 targets.

The F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter is estimated to be the most expensive weapons system in human history, based on its projected lifetime cost of $1.5 trillion dollars ($406 billion for the aircraft, the rest in lifetime operating costs)—and that’s before we factor in the endless cost overruns.
This being an estimate of gov't costs, we know we can just go ahead and double these figures to get it close to what it'll actually be. I'm sure our small gov't Rs will be here shortly to defend this. I always get a kick out of them and their mental gymnastics. It's like they don't see the US military as gov't spending......

That would be incorrect. I think what you're going for here is that national defense is one of the few EXPLICIT areas of spending outlined for the federal government in the Constitution (and also what is just practical for the federal government to spend/manage as opposed to fifty individual states).

Wasted would be 52 Harrier jets in simultaneous VTOL.
This cost a good bit, but the demonstration that we are serious is worth that cost.

Or maybe they see it as constitutionally mandated government spending. That's not to say it can't be trimmed, but your attempt to lump all "government spending" as equal is either misguided or dishonest.

You do want our pilots to be properly trained in flying those multimillion dollar planes do you not? Practice makes perfect, or close to it anyway.

Hey vermin
Whine some more about costs.
Leftists whining about costs is always good for a laugh.
And to the idiot you replied to - pilots have to fly to stay current, so they did it all at once yesterday
