The Armory - Guns, Knives, and Axes

What all you boomers fail to realize is that this is just a stepping stone. This is literally next gen as in it fucking sucks compared to what the next one will do. You want progress? This is fucking progress wtf. This is a significant platform promoting man machine interface that is selling like crazy. You can't do that with some shitty f16 clone. This is progress dude get on board or get run the fuck over.

At least I could heat up a sammich on the exhaust manifold

F-35 can't even make me a sammich

Dude, shit is really bad. I think we could lose a war because of this.

I wouldn't go that far. People lose wars, not equipment. Though bad equipment selection can sure help.

I've always been leery of super weapon systems. First of all they cost too fucking much. I don't know what the non sammich making F-35 costs, but I could probably recruit, train and equip an entire Brigade Combat Team or Infantry Division for the same cost. There's something to be said for good enough.

However, if all of NATO buys in, maybe we make the money back.

In the case of air war, equipment very well can lose wars.

Lose the air superiority situation and you lose air dominance to the opponents. Lose air dominance, and it's boom boom time.

At Lockheed Martin, we never forget who we are working for, and that is the men and women who defend and uphold the Declaration of Independence preamble and associated light of civilization itself, to include stalwart allies as well.

They are the best of the best, that's why we hire them.

We don't need them to bullshit for us, and we don't bullshit them.

We just let them fly the Panther and it speaks for itself.

Sometimes the best answer is having 92,000 T-34s or 55,000 Shermans instead of 500 King Tigers.

This F-35 thing may just be arms business, and not have much to do with winning wars. That shit happens too. Or it might be the best fighter made so far, I'm waiting to see.

[TheReal_ND]

Dude we have like 7000 f-35's lmao. The fuck are you on about? Just our f-35's outnumber all the other fighters in the world put together just lmao

Congress rejects the Soviet model, because America values individuals and their families, whereas the Soviets were perfectly willing to kill 20 million of their own people without blinking an eye.

92,000 T-34 death traps for Stalin, is not the American Way.

Like one cohort of Marines with a few f35b's could take take mainland China in a couple days. Why though? This is too much fun.
