YOUNG: GIVEN CURRENT WARS, F-35s ARE BETTER CHOICE THAN MORE F-22As
---------------------------------
Given current wars they'd be better off buying a load of Douglas A-1
Skyraiders and a few WWII twin engined bombers.
What they need is something very reliable that lugs a largish bombload
around and can absorb ground fire while dropping it in smallish quantities
with great precision.
What they don't need right now is large complex jet fighter/bombers that are
designed to fight a major European war.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
