Oh dear....Johnny Got His Gun

Not eager to defend the status quo, but with the Civil War and WWI and WWII, the US Government has learned that throwing enormous quantities of resources at a problem = victory.
They aren't going to change. As long as we don't have to fight Israel, we're probably OK. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I'm trying to figure out what we need a trillion dollar fighter for when our enemy's most successful attack relied on box cutters? RE: Oh dear....Johnny Got His Gun

Combat ready huh......so I guess the idea is that the pilot flies it into something, like a very expensive missile..........I'm with Min, we could have hijacked alot of passenger jets for that much money to the same damned effect.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

F-35's maneuverability, acceleration and agility are all well below the standard set by last generation of fighters (from the 1970s). It relies on wiz bang stealth and "situational awareness" to "dominate" airspace. If the Mig is close enough to shoot at with guns, the Mig will fly circles around the F-35 and the f-35 will never be able to bring its guns on target before the Mig has taken its killing shot. So the fact that the gun won't fire makes no difference.

In defence of the Air Force, it has done far more than throw money at the problem of f-35's abysmal kinematic performance. It has also lowered each kinematic performance benchmark time and again, in most cases to successive points each well below what 1970 era Soviet and Chinese jets are capable of, so the airforce can come a little close to being truthful when it says the awesome f-35 has beaten every performance bench mark.
Um, Chuck.
Sounds like every performance bench mark has beaten the F-35. P-O-V is everything, I suppose. 
And here in Europe they complained about the Typhoon development costs. Peanuts!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
