thats a waste- in many ways
but i wont get into all that here
just the scrap metal side of it
wonder how much the US military writes off every year?
i think about all the old/rusted machinery &military equipment lying in different parts of the world
some of them may even have valuable parts containing precious metals- just rotting away.

Seems the government could have hired some of us to disassemble, and still made a hefty profit.
Not that any of us would actually work for them.

OY!
Probably to "increase cash flow" and it isn't like they could go to a neighboring village and say "Ehhh you in da market for a fine slightly used aeroplane?"
I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

Glad I don't live in Kabul. I get 7.5 cents a pound here.
