The desperation is palpable.
I can imagine the conversations between the Joint Chiefs and the President. He's calling for cuts (and would have even if sequestration wasn't in play) and the Chiefs are offering personnel up instead of weapons. The Chiefs want their F-35 instead so now they're trying to rally support for the F-35 in the public.
But no one gives a damn.
Lockheed Martin spread the cheddar all around the globe but in the end, its still costs too much and other militaries are balking at the cost.
