The F-35

[Violet]

Someone here said that they are needed in order to keep our air superiority. What air superiority is to be gained that we don't already have? When was the last time our air force lost the advantage of air superiority? We won the air war in WWII not necessarily because we had superior weapons, but because we had superior numbers. I believe that the notion that we should build ever capable aircraft that brings our pilots home every time is laudable, but not economically viable. The ones we already have in our inventory do a superb job. Why not just buy more, and train more pilots, if air superiority is really the issue? In other words, why not just stick with what we already know works well?

America has superior numbers against China?

I somehow... do not think so.

I suppose it could be worth adding them as a kind of bluff. A completely useless head so the puny humans are detracted.

Even better have a spare head inside the top so when you gouge its eyes out the first head flies off. Then the 2nd head pops up just to laugh at you.

So... a Jack in a Robot? I've got an old friend who would be just *trilled* with this idea.



It's certainly a good way to frighten the living.
