Cost..

 US Navy carrier strike group and a few other warships that spent months battling the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in and around the Red Sea fired $1.16 billion worth of munitions during active combat operations, a Navy spokesperson told Business Insider on Wednesday.

This previously unreported figure covers the total cost of the 770 munitions that the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group launched from October 7 to mid-July and underscores the significant financial toll of America's ongoing counter-Houthi mission.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             "US Navy ships have maintained a presence in and near the Red Sea to deter threats and protect shipping since the launch of near-daily attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthis in November 2023," the spokesperson said.

"In that effort, a variety of weapons have been employed by the carrier strike group, including aircraft as well as vessels operating with the strike group and independently," they added.

Comments:

The total coast perhaps exceeds twenty times what's calculated.  In addition the war in that region blocked ships from going through. 

We wasting our money... Just a thought.

The Taiwan's military is planning a meeting to reevaluate the use of US-made anti-tank missiles after the weapons saw low accuracy during drills earlier this week, per local reporting.

The recent exercises were aimed at acquainting troops with the weapons, which could be used to bolster Taiwan's defenses against a potential Chinese invasion .
On Wednesday, Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense said it would reevaluate the use of the tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided (TOW) 2A missiles after many of the weapons fired during the recent training missed their targets, per Taiwan News .  Only seven of the 17 TOW missiles used during the two-day exercises accurately hit their target. It's unclear if the problem was the weapon or the operator.
Comment:
This is almost half and half. Or less than half and half.   How is the Lucky Ukrainians doing with these weapons?

 Barack and Michelle Obama resurfaced, with a vengeance.
Doug Emhoff, the nation's second gentleman, turned on the goofy charm.
A number of torches were rhetorically passed.

With Joe Biden thanked and sent packing, the second night of the Democratic National Convention swung its full attention to Kamala Harris, with a symbolic roll-call vote and fusillade of attacks on Donald Trump.

Eight years ago, when Democrats gathered to nominate Hillary Clinton, then-First Lady Michelle Obama famously urged them to rise above the ugliness of the race against the vitriolic Trump.

Forget all that. There was not a speck of "they-go-low-we-go-high" restraint when Obama took the stage Tuesday night in her hometown.

"For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to make people fear us," she said of herself and her husband. "His limited and narrow view of the world .....

Nothing is left but to "Save Democracy." Inflation, High Prices, Billions spent on the war in Ukraine, South Borders, Migrants problem, Violance, crimes and Lawlessness.
