The logistics planning of the U.S. military is one of its most outstanding features. It is simply the best of all the world’s fighting forces and has been since the Civil War. If you think that expenditure of armaments and supplies were not taken into account before this got started, you are mistaken. If they were not, then we need to fire the current faculties at West Point, Colorado Springs, and Annapolis. Additionally, I rarely believe anything I read in the Washington Post.

As well as the stockpile quantities of any number of different weapons categories and estimates of how many would be needed. Making sure contingencies were made and double checked for more than one operation happening at the same time
But WaPo and the OP are “alarmed” they don’t know what they’re doing
Maybe the OP will get shamed enough to at least think through his next posting of a rag article like this. But ego probably won’t allow for that.

Sounds like we need to build some munitions factories, or reopen some that have closed.

I can assure you Panicans that we have plenty of weapons to deliver freedom around the world for quite awhile. Trump ramped up production in his first term, it was taken up another notch during Biden's term and Trump has had his foot on the gas since he took office. I can't say how many, but I can tell you we got more than they say.

Or, like the other poster said, we should stop dim-commies from giving billions to Somali scum and buy more weapons.

Exactly!
The worst case scenario for any antagonist is that we run out of Tomahawks and have to resort to more effective weapons.
If I’m China. I want Tomahawks headed my way versus the alternatives.
We have been playing the 4 of spades and sitting on our Ace-King- Queen- Jack.
Nobody wants to encounter the face cards.

They are. In south Arkansas, they've been hiring thousands for several years and will be adding thousands more. Just L3 Harris/Aerojet will be adding about 1600 in the next two years. 1-2k at Lockhead. 300-400 at General Dynamics. Raytheon doubling in size here and have a joint venture with Raphael, an Israeli company, to build iron dome and David's sling. We're looking at 4-5k permanent jobs and who knows how many to build out the huge expansions.
zero reason you can't make $100/year in East Camden. Lowest pay at L3 Harris is $22/hr. That's with no skills and no work experience. Stay a year and you'll be mid to high 20's minimum if you do just enough to not get fired and easily over $30 if you give any effort.
Then you have the data centers being built just south of us and SLI about to start on a $1.2 billion plant just to the west of us.

True. We have shite no one talks about and just as much that no one knows about.

And we don’t have to talk about it. Because 3 weeks and 20% of our tom stockpile just reduced the 16th strongest military on the planet (and 3rd strongest adversarial military power) to a joke that will take years to rebuild into the top 100
But WaPo is alarmed. And OP supports their alarm

but the reality is, buy rates of expensive weapons is driven as much by budget concerns as it is by potential scenarios..... and the scenarios themselves (2 big wars, 1 big and 1 regional, etc) can be altered based on political, financial and other reasons.
As someone (and I have no clue who it was) said something to the effect - our weapons procurement is designed for efficiency, not necessarily war.

If there is one thing … ONE DAMNED THING that I have total faith in our federal government to do, it’s gear up for war.
When we start to throw dollars at the problem, we will outperform every other nation on the planet.

We're fine on Tomahawks.
Do you realize how long we've been making Tomahawks? They have to stay continuously in production for the businesses to survive.
We've got a lot of Tomahawks, and everything else for that matter. Trillions of dollars worth built over decades.

My concern is we are weakening ourselves to put China or Russia or everyone to try to invade the US while we are concentrating on Iran.
