**AITA for thinking the Pentagon just speedran a 5-season Netflix series with *Operation Epic Fury*'s funding?**
TL;DR: Just found out that "Operation Epic Fury" cost $2.7 billion, and apparently that's NOT for a literal Fury Road-style LARP in the Nevada desert with retired A-10s, but for "modernizing drone warfare logistics." Cool. So we're basically paying for Amazon Prime delivery for Hellfire missiles, while the VA is still using Windows 95 to process claims.
But wait—the real impact? The funding was pulled from a program that gave free pizza to recruiters. So now they're lowering standards to "must be able to fog a mirror" AND they can't even bribe with pepperoni. Great job, guys. You've created a military that runs on vibes and spite.
I, for one, am thrilled our tax dollars are optimizing the supply chains for weapon systems that have the same failure rate as my last IKEA build. Truly, the invisible hand of the free market is just giving the Geneva Convention a little cheeky pinch.
/uj Honestly, I'm just mad they didn't name it *Project Sarcastic Thunder* because at least that would be transparent.
