re: #316 William Lewis

That goddamn F-35 is the biggest mistake since the Gutless Cutlass. It really needs to be cancelled.

The F-35 is a plane without a mission. The B-52 and the A-10 were designed for a specific role, and thus, they perform that role excellently. The F-35 is an attempt at a “jack-of-all-trades” aircraft, but the problem with a jack of all trades is that it is the master of none. We’d have been better off designing a new A-series attack aircraft, ordering more F-22s for air superiority, and sticking with the Super Hornet for the Navy. With the savings, perhaps we could’ve replaced the B-52 with a respectable long-range strategic bomber.
