Trust in US Military and Police dropping rapidly

What exactly should I ‘trust’ the military with? That’s a confusing question.

Also - pretty biased source duder.

The military does things so you don't have to get your hands dirty in so many ways. Respect is given because it has been earned. It is the bastardization of what Congress and politicians, in general, have used them for in the past that has brought into question their respect.

There only 1 thing that I need them to do - defend the homeland. So I do trust them to do that....
If you include the generals/planners/whatever that spend trillions on idiotic space-ray programs, then no. I don’t trust them at all.

SF, did you see that the Air Force is asking for another fighter?

They wanted a replacement to the F16, and got the F23, and the new jet doesn't do what they want.

The military times is biased toward the military, so if they are printing this, it's an issue. Going from 70% Approval to 52% is quite a drop

What do they want it to do? Dog-fighting is obsolete, and there are plenty of other aircraft that do ground support roles better than any jet.

Are they wanting it to exit into orbit and come back, or something?

Oh wait, it's not anything tactical they're looking for, they just need a justification to keep the plane factory running.

Note, the above should be F35, not 23

Either way, the question is idiotic and makes the responses nonsensical. The only possible use for this is to demand another trillion for ‘public trust work’.

Our fathers/grandfather's versions of dogfighting is technically obsolete, but we need something that will make the same kind of leap in technology as the F-16 did when it replaced its' predecessor.
