Business Insider published today an article entitled, "Leaked Pentagon Report: The F-35 Won't Stand a Chance in Aerial Combat."
Excerpt:
According to an article published by the Washington Times, the F-35A, the Conventional Take Off and Landing version of the Joint Strike Fighter, would be defeated in aerial combat because of its current shortcomings.
Mentioning a leaked Pentagon report made available by POGO, the article explains that “out-of-cockpit visibility in the F-35A is less than other Air Force fighter aircraft,” thus limiting a pilot’s ability to see aerial threats surrounding him.
And if that's not enough and you need more proof that trillions of dollars are being squandered in the biggest and most costly boondoggle in the history of the Pentagon--which is replete with boondoggles-- read this article entitled, "How the F-35 Turned into Such a Disaster."
Now if the American people had not been thoroughly brainwahed and bamboozled by the military-industrial complex, we would be invading the halls of Congress en masse and demanding that our Representatives and Senators defund this insanity immediately.
But no--too many Americans have been lobotomized into supine passivity and inaction and have swallowed the Republicans' big lie that we have to slash benefits to the poor and middle-class citizens of America in order to "balance the budget" and "pay down the natioal debt."
Baloney!
We need to slash the trillions in corporate welfare going to pay for the flying white elephanat and other military boondoggles.
Well, just look at the picture below if you want to know what $320 million [2 X $160 million] of your taxes bought. Ugly little bastards, ain't they?
