    Yeah, I just can't go there. One of those missiles costs enough to fund my district for a year. *sigh*

    You can't even buy a Porsche 918 for the low cost of one of those missiles.

    Unit Cost: Approximately $569,000

    I thought we were going to limit our use of cruise missiles due to their limited supply and regulation under START treaties (i.e. they can carry a nukulaR! payload)
