Does anyone actually believe the F-35 is integral to the Vermont economy? Does anyone actually believe they'll protect us in the event of war?
War is changing. When's the last time you heard about a dog fight? Do you think the F-35 can stop an ICBM? Do you think Vermont will be invaded in a classic ground war? If so do you think Vermont will be a primary target of bombing raids?
Think about it.
The F-35 is the reason my son can't have affordable healthcare and education.
The old men in charge of this nation are as obsolete as their model of how war will work in the future.
The truth is we already lost the first battle in war of the future; the 2016 presidential election.
Where were the F-35s when the Russians rigged the election?
Where were the politicians?
Of course the air national guard wants new toys. I get it I respect them for their service but not enough to stay silent.
The F-35 is the reason we can't have nice things. We don't need it. The jets in use now are just fine and much less costly and we would win a ground war anyway! We are the most heavily armed citizenry on the planet earth forged from a deep heritage of war...in short we will just fine without em.
