The government subsidies of consumer spending are more important than ANY military program to ALL the media including Fox.
They don’t get a cut from military spending.

But no economy can maintain “Bread and Circus”, including us.

I’m sure the FOX journalists who wrote this piece was proud to that ‘investigative piece.’ I hope President TRUMP pulls the plug on this kind of reporting.

Aiding and abetting our enemies has got to stop.

They are short all those pilots due to diversity level requirements. Not enough people of color and woman making it through flight school. The Air Force hopes with an intense recruiting drive for the remainder of the year they will be able to get those numbers turned around and we will be back in the war fighting business by 2020. //sarcasm off//

Deja vu all over again. Commies love to spend our budget on their social engineering.

Nothing to see here.

Just part of Obama's FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION.

There’s a bumper sticker that’s popular among teachers. It says “It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need, and the air force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.”

Well, the US has the highest education spending per-student of any country except Switzerland, and the Air Force is scrounging for parts. Somehow, I don’t consider this to be a “great day”.

after WW2 the forces stationed in Japan sent ships to the war islands to scrounge parts from wrecks.

People may flame me but the GOP is just as at fault for this as the DEMs maybe more so since it's been an ongoing issue since the early 1990's. Why? Who sets End Troop Strengths? Who says this projects and this branch of the armed forces gets what amount of funding? Who has say whether a Secretary of Defense or a Branch Secretary is fit for office? Who approves officers commissions and enlisted promotions from E-7 on up? Congress does.

It hasn't mattered who was SML or SOH since the days of Bush and Sec of Def Cheney because the results have been the same. Bill Clinton's damage occurred under a two house GOP majority for six of his eight years especially after Boehner ousted Newt.

Until Congress is disciplined by lifetime Term Limits many issues will not be addressed no matter who is POTUS, SML, or SOH. Who will be blamed? Ones at mid officer ranks of 05 & 06 pay grades just as they were blamed for the post 9/11 incident where two of our carriers failed to get underway due to readiness issues. You can't fix what ain't funded to be fixed. Congress should have taken Poppy Bush, Clinton, W, and Obama to the woodshed on readiness issues and the secretaries along with JCOS should have had the guts to say hey we need funding and went public if necessary.

Cancel 100 F-35's and buy 40 new B-1's (a C model?) and refurbish another 40.

Cancel another 200 and buy 325 new F-15c-2040's.

During the visit to Ellsworth earlier this week, Fox News was told only about half of the 28th Bomb Wing’s fleet of bombers can fly.

When I was at Mtn. Home AFB, ID from 1978-81, we would be lucky to have one third of our F-111As mission capable at any one time. At the time, those aircraft were 10 years old.

My neighbor is a B-1-B pilot at Ellsworth. He echoes what Herridge says. Morale among the military is really suffering under Obama.

This is not just a U.S. problem. This is a NATO problem too. It's also a problem for some of our Middle Eastern allies.

The hard truth is that we are trying to fight a global war without the requisite mobilization and prioritization of money. And on top of the Global War on Terror (errr, Overseas Contingency Operations), we have the Chinese, the Russians, and Best Korea all clamoring for attention. Europe is busy importing Islamic insurgents to boot. But we, as a Civilization, won't face up to the reality of the situation and still insist upon acting like we are at peace.

How about we stop wasting money on the F-35?
