Military Blunder: F-35’s Economic Illusions

The F-35 fighter jet saga showcases the stark reality that even national defense projects are subject to the laws of economics, despite what many might think. The F-35 Lightning II, intended to be a cutting-edge marvel, instead represents inefficiency and over-expenditure. Driven by military bureaucracy, it’s a costly tale of ambition marred by pragmatic oversight. Rather than ensuring national security, it’s turned into a taxpayer burden, reflecting the dangers of unchecked governmental monopoly in any sector. The lesson? Even mighty defense projects can’t escape economic scrutiny.
