Cancel the F35 program, and buy from Europe.

I fully endorse and support doing this, regardless of sunk cost.

I'd rather cut the losses, and redirect the spending.

There's probably a massive cancellation penalty.

There's probably a massive cancelation penalty.

If you were to hazard a guess at my Give A Fuck level with respect to cancelation penalties, what would it be?

A smidge lower than that, but you're definitely in the right territory.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Probably about as high as the concern the Defense Dept has for your opinion.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

You've missed the mark.

I was heaping scorn on you for believing that you were adding information.

No shit there would be a fucking cancelation fee.

I think we agreed to the first 16, but i think we can cancel the rest without penalty. My opinion is accept the 16 F35, buy 70 Gripens from Saab, join the Global Combat Air program and invest in 6th generation fighters. 88 fighters not enough for a country our size.

We already paid for the first 16. So let’s accept than one squadron and then look elsewhere, for fighters we can actually maintain at home.

We've already been through this once. No way we should cancel again.
