  1. Feel bad for that Gen having to lie to keep the machine going.

  3. CNBC on TV is to hype stocks for day trading. You know...that thing they were mad about when reddit did it.

  4.  @geraldmaxwell3277  True. US just does it at a global scale. And it also initiates the said conflicts.

  5. Justin Bronk wouldn't be saying all this crazyness if he wasn't getting lots of $$$$$$ for saying them. What a clown.

  6.  @i.alicorne  It's purely bureaucratic. I was at Ramstein when our General was picked for Chief of Staff of the Air Force. By 2013, we no longer knew who he had become. Direct push came down to sell the idea of the F35. No negative feedback allowed, even though most pilots hated it, and the aircraft wasn't mission capable.....and still isn't.

  8.  @GowthamNatarajanAI  Air Force itself said it was a failure. The aircraft never did what it was supposed to.

  9.  @GowthamNatarajanAI  I'm Air Force retired, Wife still in the Air Force. It's expensive because it never delivered, and more money was put into it to make it operational. F35 has never been operational. It was supposed to replace the F16 and A10....and it failed against both. The push for this aircraft after knowing it was a failure, was political. As far back as 2013....Air Force Generals knew it had failed. I'm not a lobbyist, and I don't work for any MIC company, so I don't gain anything defending it.

  10.  @GowthamNatarajanAI  Other countries have it because we make them buy them, as part of foreign policy politics, etc. And what they get is a trimmed down version of ours. They do not get all the technology and specs. Our #1 export is weaponry. This aircraft is obsolete. Came out in 2006 and it never worked. It is not replacing anything . It has never been mission-capable, admission by our own Secretary of Defense.

  11.  @GowthamNatarajanAI  Ok...lol

  12.  @i.alicorne  I retired in 2014, but my Wife is still in, so I still live and breathe it daily. Yes that 2013 did brainwash a lot of people, and many pilots got out of the service during that timeframe. No bonus was big enough to keep them around. The people around the issue today are all buy-in, so the pushback from within is mostly gone. That's why I said it was purely bureaucratic. It got to where it is today because of it. Just like those tanks that the Army never asked for, didn't need,, but had to keep accepting in. Congressional bureaucracy.

  13.  @i.alicorne  True. We are stuck with it, and have to make it work, at all costs.
