  1. I get why you need to pander and support (rah-rah apologist for) the military machine... that's how you get paid, and get access. However, yes, the US defense budget is bloated, grossly inefficient, and wasteful. If the US was more efficient with spending, and efficiency, not just in military, Americans would be better off. Also, why does the US need to be the world's primary police force? When as government been efficient at anything it does? Where is the economies of scale? Af for defense "spending"... if you pile on all that foreign "aid" and related spending, it's prob well north of $1T+ a year.

  3. What would you rather have... guns or no guns in a fight? Me thinks guns would win that fight.

  4. This is riddled with mis-interpretations. Yes, military products are based on the lowest bid... but the requirements for that product for the lowest bid is far far superior than what you would get out of WalMart or even a commercial equipment store since the min requirements for the military is to survive a war. As for technology or products being derived from something that's not for it's original intended purpose.... that's prob 90% or more of all inventions. Finding a use for a product from something that's not from it's original intended purpose does not detract from the fact that the final end product would not have been made if that original unintended product was not made originally.

  5. This is an example when you have a bottomless budget... you can build crazy stuff.

  6. Are they more modern? Isn't Japan going to production with a version YF-23? I guess the US can piggyback off that... have the Japanese pay for the start-up, and US would just buy the production version.
