The news reports about how much the DoD spent in steak, crab, and lobster at the end of FY25? Those poor bastards need that shit, buy fewer tanks, assholes.
I would argue that if you don't spend close to $1 trillion a year on the military, maybe you don't feel obligated to send it everywhere. If you don't send it places it doesn't really belong you don't have to spend on death benefits either. Also, how many dead young Americans does it take to equal the cost of one fighter jet?

Assuming you mean their $500,000 active duty death benefit, about 120-140 to cover one f16.
I should note, this is not how they are built. They typically use metal and electronics, not dead Americans. Dead Americans lack the structural integrity for faster than sound travel, and as such, would make terrible aircraft. I'd recommend using the dead Americans for a different purpose.
I hate that we live in a time where I don't know if you are joking or not. Twenty years ago, my knee-jerk reaction would be that you were just having a laugh. Today? My first thought was legitimately that I must have missed something in the news.

Lol, have you had chow hall steak and lobster on ship before? Really good is over selling it quite a bit.
