How much would a jam-proof laser communication system cost?
How much would a 99% autonomous ship with only a few sailors inside cost?
Robots and explosives are cheap; healthcare and housing for personnel are what make the bulk of DoD's expenditures.
We need people manning the machines, lest we fall victim to things such as jamming radio signal.
