If we didn't spend it on warplanes, tanks and landmines, we'd have to spend it on cancer research and fighting poverty. Are you insane!! Just think of all the people who would live happy, fulfilling lives! No, I'm afraid it's necessary to kill as many people as we can and make a pisspot full of money along the way. After all, you never know when one of the countries that we've bombed back into the stoneage will decide to spend their entire GDP on research and development of a new fighter/bomber that would make the X35 look silly. We MUST remain vigilant!
It's the only war we have left. And when we win it, we'll invent a new one. Oh wait, that would be the war on terror. When we run out of foreign nationals to kill, THEN we'll invent a new one.
Which design is actually better is usually a secondary concern when it comes to choosing defense contracts...
Absolutely. We picked the Lockheed because their offering has superior campaign contributions. End of story.
