It’s a bargain. As the price of war materiel increases, the real expenses of war (human lives, displaced people and so on) continues to shrink. Compare the lives lost in WWII to the lives lost in all the conflicts since then.

Microsoft signed to make 120k helmets for $22 billion, and if you do the math it comes to $188k per helmet!
And humans are getting more obsolete in wars. Like, did you watch "Jarhead"?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
