Buy F-15SA’s or F-15K’s from Boeing. Still in productio, still bad ass and very modern. Oh and for a fraction of the JSF price too! Wait, our pilots can fly them already, out maintainers can run them and we have spare parts already? Who would have guessed? Smh. We shold have had these already.

Adolf is that you? Thought you would know better

Nimrod. Terrible name.

Don’t forget the original

Man things have changed. Guard units forward deploying like this regularly. Used to be all AD.

I love that car. Panamera is awesome Panamera

you actually saw that on the road?

so like Japan in WW2? Probably.

The real question is does it come with the blowjob attachment or not?

PRETTY SURE THAT’S A LAMBO DUDE

speaking of which I know Germany lost the war but as far as efficiency goes in waging it they have to be called successful right? I mean they were vastly outnumbered by the Russians but inflicted massive casualties on them. Not sure what you would call that metric but it’s worth noting. Worthy soldiers on both sides…

I’m as red blooded as they come but Dassault makes and has always made bad ass fighter jets. The Rafale is no exception.

I agree and never said the process was efficient. I said it was important and there are benefits

Yes. And I actually work for a large defense contractor which I won’t name. I agree and I never said they were efficient.

You are missing a big point. A significant amount of that spending goes to drive the industries that produce technologies and material that are used in other areas to improve products and designs of American origin. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are employed in these companies that do R&D, production, servicing…

I spent a good deal of time and effort supporting UN relief missions when I was in the USAF. Don’t forget that from your list.

Transitioning to the civilian world after leaving the USAF was very difficult. I just didn’t understand, still don’t, why people just don’t get shit done. See a job to do-do it. Everyone is aligned to the goal in the military, nothing needs to be said. Out here everyone is in it for themselves and it gets in the way…

This is the only correct answer. Bravo

Maybe because we know we need a military yet have a bloated Government and massive liability in social and welfare programs? That’s why we want a one size fits all program like JSF when in reality we need multiple programs. Can’t afford stuff like this anymore

1962. Amazing. What an aircraft and just shows what American ingenuity can produce if it is allowed to. Bad ass
