The Air Force had a different philosophy on loss of glideslope than what I've encountered in the rest of the world. In the Air Force, the "Localizer" was just another way of flying the ILS approach. Losing the glideslope was no big deal -- it was a favorite exercise in the Simulator. We were trained, conditioned, expected to continue the approach using Localizer only procedures.
Out of the Air Force, they're treated as two completely different approaches, with different clearances, and different procedures. The philosophy is exactly opposite. Lose the glideslope, lose the approach.
Either way, the decision should never be influenced by money, tax dollars or otherwise. I hope you were being sarcastic about that.
