The real question is which proportion of the cost is justified by genuine manufacturing costs, and which is due to broken procurement processes, to administrative ineptness, and of course to good ol' corporate greed. The answer would certainly hurt. The biggest culprits are members of Congress who will fight tooth and nail to prevent an existing weapons system being manufactured in their state/district from being shut down due to obsolescence as it means loss of jobs and federal funds being pumped in. A favorite method of getting a weapons system approved by Congress was to make sure all/most of the parts were made in as many states as possible. *

Some of us remember when Sec of Defense was a big opponent of the V-22 program during the Bush Sr administration. Once he became VP under Bush Jr he suddenly was it's biggest supporter. Even now the military is trying to find a mission for it......
