what would you buy your military if you had an extra 17 billion?

February 1st, 2010 by eranio

ok lets say your the president of a small country like sri lanka or Lebanon and you had 17 billion dollars to spend on your military this is money apart from your national budget maybe donated from various countries what would you spend it on?

Here what i would do:

100 mig 29’s 50 million each 5 billion

8 navy frigates 250 million each 2 billion

500 Leopard 2 tanks 5 million each 2.5 billion

25 gazelle helicopters 500 million

2 billion for armored vehicles and rifles vests etc.

And the rest of the 5 billion will go towards anti missile defenses really big guns and bonuses for the troops.
please no body answer this question by telling me that it should be spent on food or the homeless etc… i like military hardware and this is a military topic so please if your not gunna answer the question with something related to the question than dont answer

    I’d seal it in an envelope and send it to the President of the United states, with the proviso that he spend every dime on public education and nothing else.

    What our troops need in Iraq are bomb-proof humvees or other patrol vehicles. I believe they are going for about $1 million each.

    Take the rest of the money and pay the troops some real money, they are the ones that should be getting million dollar salaries and not athletes. They do far more for the rest of us than any celeb.

    First,where did you get the odd figure of "17"
    billion?
    Next,if you are the head of a small banana
    republic,give the people a lollipop each and
    with the balance out of the 17 billion buy yourself a citizenship in another country and lead a retired life of luxury

    Why wouldn’t you spend to improve food, farming, education, or provide housing, transportation, doctors & medical supplies???
    Why does everyone worship the almighty destroyer of life,liberty,and the pursuit of happiness??? .. YOU could be
    a mighty leader for good…. We are in this world by the Grace of God and we can’t practice listening until we’ve learned to talk softer… (Who is going to heal you when you get hit? Gangs, drugs, guns and anti anything defenses
    aren’t going to turn our children into providers for our old age.)

    Please remember that we ourselves CAN BE positive even
    when our leaders have created havoc. .. BUT, Death is absolutely final and devastating for those who love you. . . Don’t deny love -even if it hasn’t shown its face to you, yet…. . It’s a destiny that’s there for everyone, and it proves life is worth hanging on to. !!!

    i’d send it to bush so he would bring the troops back from iraq, no need for the oil if you already have the money.
