The F35 RFQ specification had two bullet points:

0) Spread the pork into as many congressional districts as possible

1) Omae wa mou shindeiru

I’m sorry, but you clearly don’t know anything about the F 35 development program. It is held up as an exemplar case of preventing congressional pork, as every single development and integration contract was competitively won on a best-value basis.

  • Yes, and it is a matter of pure happenstance that 46 states directly benefit from that program. That's just like how other competitive trillion dollar systems are typically developed.
