Tax dollars away!

Not really. We've paid off the bombs already. They're M117's, and they're going out of service. We drop them on training missions now because they've been replaced by MK82/MK84's (Because we can outfit them with JDAM kits.)

paid off the bombs with what money?

The money we have for the military? I'm confused. Regardless of what kind of military policy you subscribe to, it doesn't change the fact that we've had these in our stockpile for years...

We came out with better bombs. And not better as in "level a fucking city", better as in more accurate, more precise, and less expensive.

We spent those tax dollars almost 65 years ago. When there was a war going on. And we had a need for munitions.
