Maybe people are concerned that the only job that might be their for their kids is the military.?

Well we gotta keep pumping billions in the F-35 and projects like it.....of course we still use the F-4 and even the Harrier for 40 years now and they are still more advanced than 95% of other aircraft or missles on the planet------but hey, who not right? What a joke.

I heard that funding was cut for the f-35, though that might have changed or maybe something else was put in its place. There was a cool 2 hour program on fighters of the future on the history channel. Talked about how the 35 is the most advanced in the world and probably will be for the next 10 or 20. I highly recommend if you can watch it. I learned stuff, and I even was stationed at a base that had a 35 squadron and I got to know two of the pilots.

At $135 million per plane...that's right...per plane, you have to ask yourself if we can affford it.

I'd rather see $135 million go to an awesome jet fighter than $20 million go to a Hawaiian vacation.
