The Pentagon sank $400 billion into the F-35 stealth jet

Saw part of a doco on the F35 over the weekend. You guys have been saying it was a lemon, but now I understand just what a piece of crap it is.

400 buh-buh-billion dollars........

.

these people definitely need to be stopped at any cost.

No wonder they're really pushing for foreign sales of F-35.

We'll start the selection of our next fighter(/bomber) fleet in 2017 and MSM is already propagandizing the F-35 as the only viable option.

Personally, I wish we'd go for Eurofighter or JAS Gripen, instead.

Ruled by retards

now we know why they call it "The Skunk Works" : because it stinks to high heaven.

Reading a very one-sided, slanted article makes you an expert?

Do you know that most of the negative comments have come from one person and his coalition. -- the creator of the F-16. Look it up.

The F-35 has been in many 4 vs 4 and 5 vs 5 air engagements with F-16s, F-18s and A-10s. That have not lost one battle. In fact, most battles ended without the opposing side knowing the 35s were even near them.

You and many others keep referring back to the 35 vs F-16 that claims it couldn't fight. Yet you fail to realize that it didn't have its equipment functioning, software package, sensors, or the maneuvering software. It was a test platform to study the flight characteristics. They just wanted to see how it could fly and engage without the upgrades.

The F-35 also flew in Green Day, which is a realistic combat training with troops and an opposing force. It completed all missions without a single loss as compared to multiple shoot-downs of A-10s and F-16s. Many from the opposing force stated they didn't know how they were killed (eliminated) but learned afterwards that it was indeed the F-35s.

When you learn more of what this plane can accomplish, then you'll change your tune.

piggy defense contractors eating at the trough.

The military industrial complex had its day, but that is changing. Bids are now financially locked with slight allowances for cost overruns if it's the fault of our government/military changes only.

The F35 is so good that there has to be a propaganda campaign against it. Because it is feared.

they are all PIGS !!!
