#1 Go back in time and remember the trials and tribulations of the F-22. Do you r ember the times it tried to suffocate the pilot? Cost over-runs, late. Sound familiar? Let's duplicate our mistake again and cancel the F/A-35 and maintain our A-10 fleet in top notch condition, cause the The Raptor don't play that CAS game. Link below might sound familiar.

#6 Nobody should expect a sport car to haul a trailer out of the mud anymore than a pickup can take a hairpin at 60.

What is ridiculous is we had a sport car which needed new air bags and hydraulics for the hatch, so we put it on blocks and bought a racer which makes Wimpy make a good sale.
