    This crap started with the F-18 super duper triple scooper hornet. At least we still have the Warthog.

    Fly jockies want to fly in airplanes, but they are obsolete.

    Drones don't need, oxygen, ejection systems, or survivability.

    Agreed, the slight wax stain on the birch takes it down to a 9.

    Why are they launching that expensive aircraft off of that rusted POS aircraft carrier?

    And the beast was nearly scrapped a long time ago (Obama had nothing to do with that, btw) and, like a few other aircraft (the B-52 comes to mind), it's proven incredibly useful far past the time it was supposed to be obsolete. I wonder how many of them we have left?

    A fire in late June caused officials to halt flights for the entire fleet of $112 million vehicles last week. Despite this, Congress is still anxious to push the program forward, and Foreign Policy explains why:

    All this for another war machine. Why can't we spend 1 trillion on new schools in 45 states?

    Somewhere along the way conservatives convinced themselves that it's the military that makes America strong. Joke's on them and the country too unfortunately.
