Cost $13 billion dollars and the toilets barely work.
It's a real life shit show.

I mean we don't need a military budget of more than the next 18 countries combined. Maybe only the next two countries combined?
I also realize that we have been using the defense budget as an artificial jobs program but we need to stop doing that.
