First the military would help force the taxpayers to buy carriers it did not need, just so the balance of power between the naval service specialties could be maintained. Spending our budget on obsolete resources instead of the the things we need, or at best buying both!
Then you have the defense contractors, their former Admirals who now work for them & an army of lobbyist making sure they get a cut of taxpayer dollars whether the nations needs them spent or not.
Then there are the politicians, motivated by the jobs outsourced to their districts. Jobs that go away if they do the right thing for America... Exposing them at reelection time!
The military industrial complex is real and a major source of revenue for the Swamp.
