Ok, so lets buy more of F-15s and F-16s. They're much cheaper and still viable. Yes, they aren't the newest and badest, but they sure would save us a lot of cash we don't have.
Is there anyone who truly believes the F-35 program stands a chance given the current economic climate?
Our country is broke and with record deficits and national debt, I can't imagine the O admin would go for this.
