It's not fright. It's just a sickening at the thought of waste. The environmentalist in me as well as the conservationist/economist in me doesn't like such waste. I know the response: a good military needs training. I'd bow to that if we, like, had any real competitors when it comes to military skill. But we don't. We can shoot down targets from 100 miles away better than anyone ever in history. What flummoxes us these days is hidden enemies yelling LALALALALA before the pull the plug on their homemade bombs -- and these sorts of military manuevers don't really get us combat ready for that. I'm just not a fan of bread & circus of any sort.
