Yep....I think it was Benny and Vince.
--------------
"Vicente Guerrero has been a towering figure in the Americas, masterfully commanding Mexico's liberation army during much of its independence
movement, and later assuming his country's presidency where he again fought off foreign invaders. Born poor to a Black Indian family and growing up
without formal schooling, he taught himself to read and write as he trained his troops in the Sierra Madre mountains. He was able to help write
Mexico's constitution, free its slaves, take steps to educate and elevate its poor and people of color, and serve as his country's first president of
African and Native American descent."

So do you have some inside information on which week it will be? Just curious - so we can all withdraw our money the week before...

$346M to produce 473 Tomahawks which = $731.5K each and which now includes the warhead (formerly GFE) produced at their Camden, AK facility

That is the unit cost, but not what Raytheon gets paid to produce them. There are program costs, logistics costs, plenty of blah, blah, blah. But
yes, let's round up for those items to $1M per round.
What do you think the cost to fly two B-2's and a bombay full of the precision guided calling cards cost the US taxpayer?

Using up all that hardware is just more corporate welfare/defense contractor stimulus, now it all has to be replaced. Buy Raytheon!

Can't find the Gringo who can't read. The bank was probably closed Monday, not Wednesday, making it a bank holiday only. Sorry for the bother (but you
guys had fun anyway).
