850 Tomahawk missiles could be $3,060,000,000... That is 3 billion sixty million US dollars.
That is 1224 5 year biomedical research grants. Literally, over 6 millennia of biomedical research.

America’s Tomahawk missiles have been heavily used in the war. The Pentagon fears the toll on US stockpiles. Over 850 launched in the first month are draining supplies faster than the US can replace them.

This parade will cost at least the equivalent of 180 years worth of an NIH biomedical research grant.
NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade.
They departed Texas 5 days ago.
What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel.
