Not only that but given the enhanced combat capabilities of the f-35 it actually becomes cheaper to own than not.

Not at all arguing that the F35 isn't cheaper to operate and far far more capable than an old F4 Phantom, but all the advanced capabilities in the world aren't going to help your plane take down commercial jets before they fly into buildings... when your heavily armed planes are sitting on the ground because nobody is sure if the attack is real or a mock attack/simulation.

Nice dogwhistling there. I like how you phrased that so it wouldn't sound racist. You are a total islamophobe. White people commit terrorism too. Brexit and the Ukraine scandal are prime examples, you miserable Jim Crow wannabe.
