I believe some middle ground exists between reasonable defense spending, and out-buying the rest of the globe for empire. Call me crazy.StCapps wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 5:50 pmsays you
what you think is useful has nothing to with what is actually useful
if something isn't the perfect tool for every conceivable situation, then you think it's obsolete
and you buy into any and all clickbait that backs up your confirmation bias against any military spending whatsoever

explain what you think constitutes reasonable military spending and why F-35 does not qualify
you wouldn't know what reasonable military spending was if it slapped you in the face, you can't tell the difference, you just buy the anti-military derangement syndrome clickbait hook, line and sinker

Re: F35 vs. A10?
you definitely seem to be suffering from an array of pathologies
the F-35 Derangement Syndrome however just seems to be part of the larger Chicken Little thing

Re: F35 vs. A10?
it really can't be about the budget, like the F-35 costing $1.5 trillion over the whole lifetime of the program ?
that's a drop in the bucket for a $1 trillion annual national security budget
never mind that personnel and infrastructure are the largest cost
weapons don't actually cost that much in comparison

LOL Yeah man, it’s just a trillion, for a single, semi-useless weapons system. What’s your beef?Smitty-48 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 6:21 pmit really can't be about the budget, like the F-35 costing $1.5 trillion over the whole lifetime of the program ?

Re: F35 vs. A10?
it can see better than any aircraft while being harder to see than any aircraft, it's the quarterback of the skies reading the defense in the air, at sea and on the ground, and calling the audibles for the rest of the team accordinglySuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 6:22 pmOk then.
