An F-16E or an F-15SA costs something like 80-90% as much as an F-35 does...why does this make sense? Sounds like too many people are listening to Sprey...

Don't usually agree with Chris Matthews but this is right on the money.

It hasn't hit our unit yet, but rumor is it will on our next deployment cycle. I'm a former IN from active duty that hasn't been cert'd with the unit, and just a traditional with 10 years and coming up on 2,000hrs. I'm one of the youngest in the unit, but since I came from AD, I have some of the most time combat time overseas. Pretty sure my balls are about an inch from this bandsaw. And being a nav, I have no cushy airline industry to fall back on. We're sweating it. That's a bro, right there. Imagine it from his perspective- if he picks one of his to go and die at the hands of the ANA, how would he feel? You nailed it- we were trained to fly/fight/win with Americans, for Americans. This is none of the above. They should be paying contractors 4x what they pay us to do that job.
