In iraq and Afghanistan, it has been estimated the US forces fired approximately 300,000 bullets for each person it hit. At this rate, if the US were to fight a land war in China using $3 bullets, it would require 1,500 years’ worth of total current annual defense spending just to procure the necessary bullets!
To put it another way, at $3 per bullet and 300,000 bullets per hit, the three billion dollars of US aid to Ukraine so far will not pay for enough bullets to inflict the casualties the Ukrainians alledgedly inflicted on the Russians even if it all went to paying for bullets.
