>>4167009Our current military budget of 570-680 billion US$ per year, this is 5-6% of our GDP, *half* of what our military spending was during the Vietnam War post 1968. It's also called the F-35 LightingII, the first Lighting was the P-38 Lighting during WW2. The F-35 is cheaper and less successful than our F-22s which put you 150-200 million US$ in the hole with every plane rolling out of the factory. Our equipment is so expensive, because it is the best and most advanced ever designed in the US military-industrial complex to date, though the F-35 could be better, the F-35C and B are good deals.
