IOW: a more expensive B-52.
Rumsfeld was right about one thing. What America truly needs is autonomous special forces. The days of fighting with massive flying and floating contraptions ended with WWII.
Or in other other words, “The F-35 is a piece of crap and won’t do the job it should but we are going ahead with it anyway because we have to pay for votes and we will buy even more votes with another plane. Yea, we screwed up with the 35 but what the hell, it’s only taxpayer money and failed national defense.”
Yeah. A much more expensive B-52.
They “might” make 3 or 4. Need 110 or 200.
