re: #17 ProTARDISLiberal

I see a few juicy targets to give NASA money from. How about the hopelessly boondoggled F-35, or at least a few of its variants.

Unlikely, given that the F-35 is starting to move into the clear. It passed its first AMRAAM test this month and hopefully will be ready to drop bombs on bad guys by the end of the year. I’d like the F-35 to have a field test in Afghanistan while we’ve got the chance. Nothing like using a combat system to kill the enemy to win it support.
