Money isn't the problem. They have more money than they know what to do with, and billions every year that they can't account for in the audits.
The problem is they choose to spend the money on fantastically expensive airplanes that don't work.
In fact now that everyone knows the F-35 will never be useful they have started to talk about replacing it with an actual usable machine. The F-35 has, after all, accomplished its mission, which was to funnel incredible amounts of money from the taxpayer to well-connected people who were already rich. That's about the only thing the Pentagon does well.
