Indeed, it could've been spent on much better weapon systems, but I get a feeling it is not something most people here would approve of. Based on the replies to on your comment, most people would disapprove of this even if was the best weapon system, since they seem to disapprove of national defense.
- syshum 10y ago>disapprove of national defense. it these programs where actually used for DEFENSE, then I believe most people would not dissapprove of them, but the US has not been on the defensive for a number of decades now. Of course you can make the claim that programs like this are the reason, however I think would could spend the same amount of every nation on the planet complained and still provide a proper defense, unlike today where we spend 2x or 3x more than every other nation combined. Money Pits like the F35 are jobs programs not defense programs
- CalChris 10y agoAt $100M per for a plane that doesn't work and is 7+ years behind schedule, the purpose of the F-35 is not national defense. It is to spend money on the right people. The F-35 is right wing welfare.
