I am so tempted to put this entire comment in bold and all caps! But I’ll try to control myself, so here goes:

I was so pissed we bought those F-35, at the time, the plane was a shitshow of bugs, delays and budget overruns.
We should at a minimum have waited.

I aired my views many times, and was always met with stupidity parroting the propaganda about how superior the plane was. At a time where for instance it could only fly for a shortened period of time, due to software bugs, that could cause pilots to lose control of the plane.

But Obama was under pressure, and Denmark was very pro Obama, and I suspect we bought them to help Obama in situation where he was being cornered by Republicans, about even more budget overruns. Denmark purchasing the plane, looked good on the budget, so Obama very much wanted us to buy them! It was corruption at the very top!

Am I still pissed about how this turned out? You can bet your ass I’m pissed!!
I know this situation with Trump was impossible to predict, but even without that, we should never have bought them!
