    I wish the bloated military budget was due to something cool like Stargate.

    It’s probably just corruption, but funding a trans-galactic war against parasitic aliens would be way cooler.

      are you saying that whatever skunk works puts out is not cool enough? mr president, we have to triple defence spending

      Between requirement that all manufacturing has to be within US and trackable, IP issues, relatively high wages in american manufacturing (at least compared to the most probable adversary) and bloat due to funding of actual black projects, there’s a lot of places where money sinks
