The sad truth is that our kids are flying around in planes that were
designed during the Nixon administration, and were built when Reagan
was president.
To put that in perspective, that would be like our fathers and
grandfathers flying Spads and Sopwith Camels against the Luftwaffe in
1943.
I hope this means accelerated funding and deployment of the F-22 and
F-35, but I fear otherwise.
Don't you know Government cheese and hand-outs and illegal
immigrant free college tuition supersedes new airplanes?
Yeah, that cheese should be going into making new fighters, goddammit!
