Navy billion dollar carrier joke mocks arms race
In a 1971 Los Angeles Times piece, a reporter visits Washington as Navy officials seek a one billion dollar budget for a new carrier. Generals and colonels joke about a floating nuclear airborne tank and a super bomber, while admirals greet each other saying you look like a billion dollars. The satire lampoons military spending and interservice bragging.
