    There have been over 1,000 F-35 produced and they are continuing to sell in droves. The F-35 is kicking ass.

      Yeah, it’s just like the people hating on the Osprey- the read the media about all the crashes and don’t realize that the overall crashes per mission hour is on par or lower than other military helicopters. The military just takes more chances. Even though they do try to minimize the unnecessary risks being in the military is still inherently risky.

        Over budget just means it costs more than originally projected. It does not necessarily mean it’s too expensive or overpriced, just it’s more than anticipated.

        I guess if it won’t fix your whataboutism…then “mmm yes you’re abso-liootly right!”

        But I say this in the voice of that tuxedo wearing Simpsons Yes-guy. If you’d prefer to be taken seriously, perhaps a post that is not completely irrelevant to the subject at hand is in order.

        There’s a budget? I thought they just took that out of the price of my tuna and rice diet.
