Are you completely insane? Nowhere did I say not spend the money, just not to spend it on that useless weapon system. There are plenty of systems with way more killing power and, thus, way more deserving of our money. Besides, the coolest part of sniping is earning the kill. I know a sniper and trust me, it's what they live for. Sure they occasionally like to be dropped on a roof top just as a mob of insurgents gets inside of 50 yards. I mean, who wouldn't like them easy pickins once in a while but the real thrill is crawling through insect infested jungle for 3 days to make a 1200 yard head shot and slip away in the target's vehicle (driven by his chauffeur no less)!
Personally, I think we should be researching some form of venomous snake delivery system. And not something quick like a King Cobra. I'm talking about Gibbon Vipers or something nasty like that.
