Why do Vatniks, the Media, normies, and liberals have such a hate boner over the F-35? Seriously they all have a lot of very fucking contradictory arguments

>800 bill spent already
>1.5 T is more like 40 T in the lifetime
gee i dunno
Because they are ACTUALLY being built and fielded.
It would cost more to maintain a fleet of 4th gens over the same 55 years, and it's 400 billion, not 800 billion
rabid and willful lack of knowledge about it. leftists want to take all military money and hand it out to their voters, vatniks want it to go away because it scares them.
They cost too much and just don’t work. Imagine spending all that money on a plane that is out-maneuvered by the Russians and Chinese and can’t even fly in the rain!
the congressional/defense critic/media complex recites the same arguments for every new plane, whether it's objectively good, bad, or generic.
it doesn't mean anything.
Cuz we could have ended the water crisis and rebuilt the entire national electric grid for less money and the fucking thing is a white elephant anyway.
nobody fall for it
The 1.5T number is the lifetime cost projected to 2070. The 857 billion number is projected 53 year life cycle cost as of January 2014.
