US military enlists public to help track down missing jet
Found a day ago...
F-35 fighter jet search turns to recovery as officials probe 'mishap'
Residents in a South Carolina county were urged Monday night to avoid the area where the debris field was found as a recovery team worked to secure the area.
Military budget is only $850 billion for 2023. I don't know how you expect to get anything done with that... a billion dollars ain't what it used to be.

Is it the *authentic* look of smug satisfaction only a Jackson home owner can have?
I know I can count on youse guys to give me the warm and fuzzies when I need them.
“We bought cheap, pulled ourselves up by the bootstraps, and you can too! The sky is the limit!
Just buy cheap, it’s not rocket science!
Praise The Lord!”

It was a long time ago but it was estimated that the US will spend 3 times as much money supporting injured veterans than the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that injured them. The true cost of war isn't bullets.
For sure. I'd actually like to see it more like a 95%/5% split. I just don't see any of the budget summaries explicitly breakdown what that proportion of the total budget it really is. There's a whole lot wiggle room in 850 billion.
Those $50,000 stealth hammers are expensive!
can you flatten cancer with them?
That will definitely be the case if they keep giving 100% disability to all these deployment dodgers and fakers. The new generation of military sits around in med hold barracks discussing what they can get diagnosed with in order to get a medical discharge then run straight to the VA for their percentage.
I respect that a lot more than being guillible enough to go attack Iraq to defend the poor billionaires of kuwait.
That's a better use of taxpayer money than funding planes that never exist. I view it as a roundabout way to public services for poor kids.
You would think recruiting wouldn't be that hard selling that to kids, but it seems they might be too lazy even for that.
People just don't want to
I grew up knowing about WW2, vietnam etc and was always curious about what 'caused' those
I imagine there's a pretty healthy similarity with people in their 20s and 9/11. And FAR more real (and mis) information available these days to find.
Desert Storm just sort of happened. I knew there was a chance going in, but I also knew I was going to be pretty damn safe in the Navy vs Army and Marines. I was signed up and in delayed entry (getting the weed out of my system) when shit started. My battle group replaced the Nimitz that did everything. There was literally nothing to do but pull in once a month to get drunk for 4 months straight. We did 43 days at see the longest stretch. Worst West Pacific cruise ever.
<edit> I don't have a VA disability rating.

It was our success in Desert Storm that made some people think that using our military to build friendly nations would be easier than a few hours playing Call Of Duty on the easy setting.
How can you not have hearing loss?
