Imagine paying taxes your entire life and it's all used up because some dude took a massive dump on an aircraft carrier.
-
400,000 to unclog a toilet? This makes so much sense now why the pentagon can’t even complete there audit
-
Solider: takes dump Plumber: that will be $400,000 please and thank you
-
A trash can is $6000 in Us army. Being a contractor of national defence is like winning a jackpot. Jus don’t forget to tip the generals after they retire.
-
"What features do you want in this F35?" "Yes"
-
If NASA received the same amount of funding that the military industrial complex receives, we'd have a colony on mars within a couple years.
-
$400,000 to fix a toilet? And to think I was upset to pay my plumber $150 to unclog my toilet. Damn, it was actually a steal!
-
Every information in this video is pure madness. However not quite all, one thing that makes it easy to swallow is the statement "the true value of the air craft carrier is not the war I wage but the war it stops." This single statement puts an admirable sense into the genre.
-
f35 program is 1.7 trillion from 2013 to 2055. Is not a bad program, If you adjust for inflation the f-15 was way more expensive.
-
What seems to be a large problem for the US’ military hegemony might be partly due to the lack of competitiveness of the arms industry. Just a few different companies seem to control the entire industry and get government contracts. Lowering innovativeness and driving costs up.
-
As Scott Montgomery said on Star Trek. The fancier you make the plumbing the easier it is to stop it up.
-
The F-35 did NOT cost $1.7 Trillion, that number was an estimate by the Pentagon on what the F-35 program WILL cost over the 60 year span it will operate, that includes weapons, fuel, maintenance EVERYTHING.
-
Honestly, all the improvements make so much sense by themselves, but I can see how combining a dozen new technologies into a single object and durability testing them for 50+ years might have caused more delays and headaches than desired. Thanks for the investigative journalism!
-
Either way, I enjoyed landing my AH-64E v6 on it a few months ago. Apart from the lift getting stuck when I was to fly off a day later
-
Its actually crazy how many things they have talked about in this video just 6:14 in. I've personally welded 4 individual pieces of those elevators, same along with the steam pipes !
-
A proof that War is a Business
-
The problem associated with the cost of everything is the profiteering by defense contractors. This is what needs to be addressed, not the acquisition of the weaponry.
-
very good docu. It shows how some people in charge completely fcked up in decision making, program management, basic engineering and procurement.
-
A pilot getting the call sign Ghost is basically hitting the lottery.
-
Trust me, there is no way it costs anywhere even near to 400,000 dollars to produce that helmet. The markup must be insane.
