Whilst I think the comment about the $40M being better spent on better equipment was quite funny (HumVees were only mentioned by TFP, not in the original quote), I'm not sure if this criticism is really valid.
Sure, it's a lot of money. Sure it could be spent on better things.
But so can almost everything.
If we want to be smartypants, the billions of dollars being spent on the entire war could be better spent. The billions of dollars being spent on proping up Israel (militarily) could probably be better spent. The billions of dollars being used to fund NASA could be better spent.
But we don't live in a utopian dreamland, so money gets distributed along party political lines. The Democrats would be no different from the Republicans.
