Citation needed. Several sources at the air force are saying that launches are more expensive from SpaceX than other providers.

Delta and Soyuz rockets. NASA flights are horrendously expensive in comparison.

SpaceX is still about 10x cheaper than Soyuz:

I imagine the only people saying that are those benefiting from the ULA contracts.

Care to elaborate on how mid-level air force officers are "benefitting" from ULA contracts? A rocket is a rocket, buyers should be fairly vendor-agnostic.
