    F35s are lemons, they have been delayed for years on software issues and even the US Navy rejected them because they did not meet contract specifications.

    If we buy these jets, it will cost us $2B a year just to park them in hangars. That’s more than we spend on all biomedical research for all diseases. This is how fucked the priorities of this country are. 88 F35s won’t make any difference to an enemy with 2,400 of them, with full control of the parts supply. They would be useless in a week.
