Who are you, Pierre Spray? Of course it siphoned money out of the peoples hands, that’s what America does. That doesn’t mean the plane doesn’t work. Also no, I’m not gonna respond to all 6 of you. You all have the same point.
You are wrong about the statistics and none of you have owned up to that and the only one who actually went and checked (presumably) when I pointed it out is weaseling his way out of it with disingenuous language instead of just saying the number, because they know that they’d look dumb if if they said less than 30 of over 900 built have crashed and less than half of those were actually a plane malfunction and not operator error or a fucking experimental test frame. It’s easier to say “many crash” than to give a number and leave it up to the reader to interpret whatever that means. It’s also easy to imply that the planes are broken and non-functional two-thirds of the time by implying that basic-ass maintenance standards are somehow a bad thing. There does not exist a fighter jet which does not sit in a hangar or below deck for most of its life. The F35 is more complex than the planes it replaced and is full of exotic materials, so of course it requires more maintenance.
Please understand that I also hate America- I just base my hatred in factual reality.
