Not that this clear waste of money is something no one in the government is embarrassed about, as the rich and powerful aren't aware of the existence of mere peons that are worth less than a million dollars. Hell, they probably aren't aware of anyone that isn't on the Forbes list of billionaires

This version of the Silver Bullet Command and Control Modules are near the end of their 20 year lifespan of use, and about 10 months from now a big ol waste of money will result in them being retired and replaced by the newer, safer ROCCs.

 In 2019, the Air Force awarded an $8.5 million contract to SelectTech Services Corp. of Centerville, Ohio, for the design, development, integration, test and delivery of two ROCCs to replace the aging Airstream units.

Why am I convinced that it's a waste of money to fly all these beauracrats around the world for meetings? A thing you might have heard of, teleconferencing. Zoom calls. Facetime. Skype. There are several inexpensive ways to have meetings, without leaving the office.

The Silver Bullets have a storied past, hosting U.S. cabinet members, service secretaries, other military leaders, vice presidents, and even celebrities like Robin Williams and Drew Carey.
