I haven’t read that article, but one I read within the past day or two mentioned we’ve used around 800 or so, which is around a quarter of our stock. Okay, I hate being “that guy” so just skimmed this article, which doesn’t mention that stat, just claims 860 missiles fired.
So if that’s true, we have used a bit of our stock, but it’s not like we’re out.
Was the number too low and why, if so? I don’t know.
But I would still reply to your comment that the answer to your statement is simple: If tomahawk missiles were the sole budget item, a trillion dollars would obviously purchase more. But you have no ships, tanks, aircraft, spacecraft, soldiers, training, transportation… someone made a decision to have that number of missiles along with all the other weapons and systems. Was it insufficient? That requires investigation. But talking about the entire budget is… not applicable.

I don’t understand how the pentagon can have a trillion dollar budget but not have enough tomahawks to fight China or Russia.
