Did you guys see the pics f the USS America, LHA-6, sporting 12 F-35Bs on deck?

Now that os what I am talking about. Give those LHA/LHDs some kind of decent AEW aircraft (Hint, like and AEW Osprey!) and the US is already prepared to quickly ut four or five more carrier out to see at any time...and with a dozen F-35Bs (and even more because in the Sea control role an America class can carry up to 20).

Can you say Force Multiplier?

Honestly, I hated the F-35 initially, particularly when the ThunderHogge II took the "Alien Bird" out of production, a stupid, mistake, an existential mistake possibly,,, though under our former regime, that's all they did was make existential mistakes.....

but credit for killing the Raptor goes back to Rummy, Cheney, and Bob-Job! and ultimately George Bush,,, very poor planning, ignoring the mess we were creating with our long time adversaries, and taking their momentary faux paus as a sign of their certain defeat, and Bo pulled the plug on good medicine, with his massive Obama-care disaster?? (the Republican establishment and the RINO's have lied to their voters, likely for the last time)

today the Trumpster revealed his true lack of ideological underpinnings by teaming with the Dems for a massive spending bill and CR, with the excuse that it was for "Harvey Recovery" mode, LOL

anyway, if the Trumpster doesn't get his act together, and quit alienating "everybody" with his stooped fixation on trade wars, he's going to get us all in a mess,,, LOL.

Oh, and his beyond ignorant? threatening of Lockheed Martin with last century's poor old F-18 against the F-35 is an illustration of what NOT to do to maintain the "peace through strength" ,,,, Trump will never be Reagon, who delivered us from the "Evil Empire!", yes I said it. Those F-35Bs on our allies and our own Wasp class carriers and the QE class along with others are a def game changer, and up the 5th Gen fighter numbers, Naval fighters to at least "playable status" , but Navy needs to get off their thumbs and bring the F-35C up right along with the Bravo.

Navy "camping out" on the F-35 Charlie is simply asinine, and shows how week their perception is of the Fifth Gen advantage,,, they are taking the cheap easy way out, because they are "broke" and "overextended"! baaaah!

and quite frankly not purchasing the F-35 Charlie to operate alongside the US Marines Bravo negates the real purpose of the Ford Class and its incredible capabilities to project power and defend our Allies..??
