Kate B. Odell: It's High Time to Restock U.S. Munitions

Way past time.

I was talking to an old CIA guy at a conference last month, and he wouldn't shut up about this.

But everybody knows it.

"Magazine depth," in the lingo.

I was watching a video of an Arleigh Burke firing cruise missiles the other day--Tomahawk after Tomahawk after Tomahawk...thinking $3 million...$3 million...$3 million...  And we can't just snap our fingers and replace them. Maybe we're ok with cruise missiles--I don't know--but it's much harder--and costlier--to replace Patriot and THAAD missiles...

Anyway, if China decided to go for Taiwan in about six weeks, I reckon we might be SOL...
