When I looked vote tally was -9. Looks like someone called in an airstrike on this squawk. We can be sure it wasn't delivered by the F-(up)-35

Just because it's another glorious failure of our multi-billion dollar hunk of junk don't mean that you kill the messenger. Pump it up and broadcast it to the stars.

You can't. These programs are designed so that they will keep bleeding money even if they are a complete failure. It's our money, so what do they care?

And this is gonna be the CAS replacement for the A10? I think a big part of the problem is that these guys controlling all the money to build this thing have no idea what CAS is. Maybe the need to get out of the office and in theater for awhile or at least talk to the Junior Senator from Arkansas who just happened to be over there a couple of times as a ranger and officer.
