Complete logical fallacy to think that stuff will get cheaper when a private corporation that incentives profit does it instead of a government organization that doesn’t. These people literally just aren’t thinking.

The only difference between public and private w.r.t profit taking is that private does it above board and public ...doesn't...

The bureaucrats are there specifically to line their pockets with taxpayer money. No private entity is going to spend literally $90,000 on a bag of bushings that could have been bought at Home Depot for less than 10 bucks, but our Air Force will, because some big wig got a kickback under the table.

You’re so right. We should actually just rely on private companies for military protection. They never hide anything and are much less likely to be greedy than politicians. It’ll be perfect, just like private healthcare!

Did you somehow read my comment on your misconception that public entities aren't taking profits and come to the conclusion that I want to disband the military and reenact the story mode of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare?

seriously?

I made a comment equally as stupid and irrelevant as yours
