The US does not need this, as any war they could need it for would end on the day it's started in nuclear hellfire. You don't need this fancy shit to murder civilians and irregulars.

The US doesn't need a military. It has two oceans and two weak neighbors. But that's beside the point.

Also, the US sells a lot of weapons to other countries.

They need it to project their Empire. All those bases don't staff themselves.

Heck, I am happy that the US is wasting more and more money on the dumbest shit ever. this new gun will perform worse then existing ones in my opinion so let's hope the military buys ten for every soldier.
