Because the F-35 has been a huge boondoggle, at the taxpayers expense.



The entire military-industrial complex is a boondoggle at taxpayer expense. The Iraq war cost, what, $1,000,000,000,000? And that didn't even involve any fancy next-gen fighters.

I just don't see why people harp on this one stupid-expensive plane when there's all kinds of other stupid-expensive junk we waste money on.

It's like somebody burned down your house, but what you're really mad about is that they burned down the brand-new tool shed out back.
