What is going on in Jordan?

No doubt my readers remember 9/11. The question is this. Where were you?
I know you remember. I know you did like we did. Have a moment of silence (we were at the range). But the question is this. Where were you?

The Chinese F-35. What we could have had but jacked it up...
Story here.
Look at that beauty.
Twin engined. Probably low observable instead of full stealth. Probably affordable as hell.
Will it deliver what the F-35 promised? No. But neither does the F-35!
We are our own worst enemy. Generals sold their souls for a fighter that we now know won't meet the needs of our future. Not only that but its late, we've paid an unGodly sum of money to acquire it, the military has lied to the American people/Friendly nations/Congress to get it across the finish line and it still don't work.
What happens when they double the number of fighters we have and they're just as good but more importantly can get into the air, mixed with a fleet bigger than our own, a more mechanized Marine Corps and formidable anti-air missile complex to keep us at distance?
We lose the war in Africa and they then own the Pacific because we're licking our wounds and trying to rebuild a jacked up military.
The 2003-2020 timeframe sowed the seeds of our future defeat.
Boxer armored vehicle unveiled with KMW Leguan bridging system
Story here.
Question. Does it make sense to use this platform for deploying a bridge? A truck would be a much cheaper option (if you're gonna use this type of bridging system) and dedicated bridging vehicles bring a utility all their own.
I guess I'm just thinking this is an expensive way to go to gain this capability.

Dead unit walking they just don't know it, poor bastards...
Top most modern 8x8 wheeled self-propelled howitzers
Story here.
I didn't know truck mounted artillery was so popular around the world. Really have to wonder why it hasn't taken off with the US Army and Marine Corps...especially the Missile Marine Corps. You want to save cube space aboard ship than this would seem a no brainer.
But it is the Missile Marine Corps so missiles are in. Cannons are out.
