I found some LES's from my enlisted service (1972-76) a while back. Unbelievable how I could have lived on $350 a month. And that was not the lowest amount I earned as a PV1. A new aircraft carrier costs as much as an entire Army heavy division will cost for several years.

To put it mildly. Gets back to why we need Universal Military Service . . .

OK, I'll say it again. If the Biden administration can spend 175 Billion and commit to continued support for Ukraine, we can come up with 4.8 million a year to pay those people that will have to fight any war brought on by his incompetence.
They didn't worry about paying for a Carrier when they spent enough for 15 Carriers on a war that Ukraine is going to lose if it doesn't draw all of Western Europe into the fight.
