Advised against leaving now or advised to stop or postpone plans to get out to save equipment costs? Get real. I have worked for major corporations that put in whole mulitmillion dollar production lines at a huge factory, got the results of the run, decided to build a factory for their new endeavor, ripped out the line, scrapped directly to the boneyard, and scrap metal operations, never intending to make a same day profit on the line, from the beginning. Government operates similarly, but never intending to make a profit for the government, at the time or ever. Businesses like to externalize costs and damages. Government externalizes profits and benefits. They do this into the free economy and big profits to the economy in terms of payments for goods and services to businesses, new and old, people in the form of salaries, communities in the form of money spent by those who were paid, etc., that micro and macroeconomic theories underpinning government spending of your money rolled on. The defense industry is a huge economic force that does not push the economy if the government does not continuously pay for more crap.Biden did. The Generals advised against it.
