The US needs the $400 billion F-35s to save us from ... from ... from ... who?  Oh, no one?  So we don't really need F-35s and this is the mother of all military waste?  Then thank you Mr. Trump for putting the F-35s in your budget cutting sights.  It's 2017 (almost) and the US should not be making manned jet aircraft any more.  Un-manned drone fighter jets are the future, much cheaper and more effective.
