If that was 40-120 billion, it would be a notable chunk of waste, and if applied elsewhere could do some good, but just millions wouldn't make a dent in the US national debt, their current healthcare issues, or R&D.
40-120 million per tank. 2 tanks is 80-240 million.
100 tanks is 4000-12000 million.
Assuming that the US has made 1000 tanks total (although I would think they have more)... then the cost would be between 40,000,000,000 USD and 120,000,000,000 USD
Are you telling me you can't do something significant with 40-120 billion+?

(Note, there was a reason I referred to it as 'mass-production'.

I would say my most favored game-types are strategy, adventure, and shooter. I think a more telling aspect of me would be in which games I avoid. Luck and chance? Like the plague. Sports? Not interested in the slightest. Puzzle? Brief interest, rapid disinterest.
Definitely strategy is my number one though... the moment is rare when I'm not thinking about how to perfect my strategies




As for adventures... I have so many RPGs in my cabinets that I will often play one for a few days, think about a different one... play that for a few days... think of a new one... process continues... until 2-3 months later I come back to the first one and wonder just where I left off.



Lastly, but not least: I have a different approach to 'shooter's than I think many people



Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
