  1. Former machinist here. There's a lot more work in making those wierd and precisely shaped airplane parts than you think because you can't weld or cast aluminum. You have to start with a block of metal and cut it down until you get the part. Most of the material goes in the recycle and robot cutting machines do most of the work but it might take a semi-skilled worker all day to make 100 VERY SIMPLE parts while the bigger structural parts we did often took three guys all day to make a couple dozen. This is why airplanes are so expensive.

  11. The mission requirements the bosses put out often contradict each other and they change year to year as potential wars change and new tech comes out. Also, branches are a bit of an anachronistism since there is extreme overlap between them with different branches often recruiting independently for the same jobs with units in the field often being mixed together.
