Cheney’s defense budget was so pared-down that it didn’t include any funds for more Tomahawk missiles in 1991, despite stocks rapidly diminished by the military action in the Persian Gulf.

- Washington Post, 2/5/91; Aerospace Daily, 1/23/91; AP, 6/20/90

“Major weapons killed include the Army's M-2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the Navy's Trident submarine and F-14 aircraft, and the Air Force's F-16 airplane. Cheney decided the military already has enough of these weapons.”

- Boston Globe, 2/5/91

“The Pentagon’s internal budget deliberations recommended termination of the Black Hawk program under Secretary Cheney.”
-Aerospace Daily, 5/15/90

Kerry supported at least $6 billion in defense authorizations for the Tomahawk.

Kerry backed at least $8.5 billion in defense authorizations for Bradley Fighting Vehicle.

Kerry has supported at least $13 billion in defense authorizations on versions of the Blackhawk.
