$715 Million for a wharf in Bremerton, WA

"Eight Trident subs are based at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. The subs carry 24 missiles. Each missile can carry eight warheads."

Eight x 24 x 8 = 1,539. Whoa. Each of those 1,539 nuclear warheads can be launched at a separate city, with a range just short of 5,000 miles.

The $715,000,000 wharf is for loading and unloading the missiles.

  1. Why not just have a giant bon-fire with the cash? I wish people would snap out of it, and demand spending on civil society, instead of this cult of death.
