that's why they call it war.
fuck, with no 'smart' weapons, think of the money we could save.

That's a good idea - except it has a couple flaws. First, the money in storing the old blunt weapons would stop being wasted, causing government types to lose jobs. Second, the money being wasted on newer smart weapons would shrink, causing government people as well as civilian contractors to lose jobs. Third, if you level a whole city over there, you're now obligated to rebuild it after you're done. Use Japan as an example. So it ends up being about the same price, and the smart weapons way gives our people more money and leaves the enemy living in the same shit they've been in since they discovered dirt there.
