Ok, but....what if we sent them 4,000,000 javelins? And the idea is, they just fire them at absolutely EVERYTHING.

I'm sure they have to conserve ammo right now, but imagine we got them 2 million rockets for the 400,000 javelins. And told them basically "Yeah man, go nuts."

I thought long and hard about this and I don't see any downsides.
