The F-35 must die....

No solid number on troop cuts but you're talking in excess of 150,000 people removed from the Army and Marines...not to mention an unknown number of Sailors and Airmen.

A reduction to 8 or 9 aircraft carriers.

Squadrons, and Infantry Battalions cut.

All so that the military can protect the F-35.

Its obvious to all that have eyes.  The F-35 must die.  One program is not worth betting the security of the nation on.  Has something like this ever been proposed before?  Somehow, someway the entire defense posture of the United States is wrapped up in one bloated, late, underperforming airplane.  When LeMay attempted his coup of the DoD at least he did it with the belief that nuclear weapons were the future...not one airplane.

We have to metaphorically nuke this program from orbit.  Its the only way to be sure.
