F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Emergency Symposium and production halt. I would have at least a month or more shutdown and not waste anymore taxpayer's money and get the damn thing fixed or cut back the production and free up the money to keep the A-10s all upgraded for the price of less than 10 new overpriced F-35s LTC Stephen F.

SGT (Join to see) - If you remember, the Osprey had its fair share of issues too, and damn glad they didn't cancel it, as it turned out to be an AWESOME spec ops aircraft that has now gone mainstream. I think they should bring back more of the Loaches (Egg Shaped Magnum PI helicopter). Only the 160th SOAR has them now, and I think they are in short supply, but great for many reasons and has a proven track record.

SGT Charles W. yeah they did, but I'm not saying cut the F-35 completely out. Just slow down enough so they can fix there problems as they go. I wouldn't count it out until nothing could be done to fix it .

SPC Darren Koele - Agreed. The A-10's are proven useful in several areas, not just CAS (which is it's main mission), but in killing tanks, recon, and signal jamming. Build more!! Build more Spookies while they are at it. They are another outdated aircraft that seems to always be on the chopping block, but like the Warthogs, have proven time and time again their usefulness and full potential.

Term limits for the House and Senate. Career politicians need to be stopped. #2 would be that all members of the House and Senate will be provided no other option for Health benefits than those that are offered to Military and veterans. Watch how quickly that gets cleaned up! # 3 All House and Senate members PAST AND PRESENT will receive the same pension/retirement plan as the Armed Services. Those 3 items will highlight a multitude of problems with regards to both the dwindling benefits of our armed services and with the ridiculous luxuries the american tax dollars are paying for. Term limits will make lobbying exponentially more expensive thus limiting its power. forcing them to abide by uniformed services standards of welfare and living will also lower costs AND improve care for military families. I could go on but those 3 things would change this country immensely and would cost $0 from the tax payers.
