With the Lightweight Command Launch Unit (CLU) costing $240,000 by itself, not including the cost of the missiles.

That’s more so a joke, because it’s not that those numbers actually matter;

Who, the, fuck, is in possession of an FGM-148 Javelin?

This is the actual definition of writing laws based on movies.

If it's in the FRT, someone somewhere has asked the firearms program to classify it. It's possible someone had an inert trainer or the expended launcher. It's also possible that at some point, some enlisted tried to take his work home with him and got busted.

True. But our forces do train alongside other forces that do. During joint exercises there are plenty of chances to play around with allied equipment.
