I amso IR responds.F-35 Rising: The Pentagon's Biggest Weapon Program Made Major Progress In 2015
I amso IR states; I post this article from FORBES Magazine which released the article today, Dec 21, 2015. It is for all of the "Nay" sayer's concerning the F35 JSF. The F35 is really real and is the fighter of the future. Bring on all deniers and read and weep. As for Russia and China, continue to march, you have a long way to do so. Too bad you don't have pockets deep enough. The United States has the best suite of aircraft in the world today with the F35, F22 and the Legacy fighters. And will soon be joined by the last of long range bombers, "Nay" sayer's be damned!
If all that is true, then why does Paul Ryan keep screaming that Obama has decimated the military and that the GOP is the ones that will rebuild it?
As important as the F35 is, it is only a part of the military. Low manpower and and older equipment do more to damage the force than any other factor. Sequestering did most of the damage. That and it is an election year. The standard battle cry of Republicans/Democrats during a presidential election is always, "the other party gutted the military". I note you are a "sailor guy". Look at all the new boats the Navy is receiving. A carrier with one more on the way, new Destroyers named for "Zummie", and a sack full of shallow water boats. What more could the Navy want than new boats to play with?
Exactly my point. If the military is getting all these new goodies, why is the GOP saying that Obama has decimated the military?

BikerSailor, the best I can offer for your question is what I stated above. It is an Presidential election year and the party hoping to take the White House, the Repubs, always say the Dems have destroyed the military which is the same thing Dems say when they want to regain the White House. Fact and truth mean nothing during a Presidential campaign and simply get in the way. The average civilian has no clue as to what is going on with our military nor do they want to hear anything except, "the other guys broke it". I am on your side biker and stand with you as retired(?) military. We are in this thing together, have served, and I am proud of that fact. Have a wonderful Navy day.
