Now, I'm not one to say slash the military so that we would be totally defenseless, but when you are outspending 10 countries something can be done about that.

The F35 is a good example. The guys on the ground hate it, CAS at 20,000ft? No thank you. Keep the A-10, battle proven many times over and a squadron of A-10's cost less than one F35. But for some reason somebody is saying scrap the a10's and go ahead with the unproven F35 that has problems flying in the rain.

It boils my blood at the waste and downright fraud being laid on the American taxpayer by high ranking beltway Generals and the politicians who who won't stand up to them.
