Imagine paying taxes your entire life and it's all used up because some dude took a massive dump on an aircraft carrier.
-
400,000 to unclog a toilet? This makes so much sense now why the pentagon can’t even complete there audit
-
Solider: takes dump Plumber: that will be $400,000 please and thank you
-
A trash can is $6000 in Us army. Being a contractor of national defence is like winning a jackpot. Jus don’t forget to tip the generals after they retire.
-
"What features do you want in this F35?" "Yes"
-
If NASA received the same amount of funding that the military industrial complex receives, we'd have a colony on mars within a couple years.
-
As Scott Montgomery said on Star Trek. The fancier you make the plumbing the easier it is to stop it up.
-
$400,000 to fix a toilet? And to think I was upset to pay my plumber $150 to unclog my toilet. Damn, it was actually a steal!
-
f35 program is 1.7 trillion from 2013 to 2055. Is not a bad program, If you adjust for inflation the f-15 was way more expensive.
-
What seems to be a large problem for the US’ military hegemony might be partly due to the lack of competitiveness of the arms industry. Just a few different companies seem to control the entire industry and get government contracts. Lowering innovativeness and driving costs up.
-
Either way, I enjoyed landing my AH-64E v6 on it a few months ago. Apart from the lift getting stuck when I was to fly off a day later
-
very good docu. It shows how some people in charge completely fcked up in decision making, program management, basic engineering and procurement.
-
The F-35 did NOT cost $1.7 Trillion, that number was an estimate by the Pentagon on what the F-35 program WILL cost over the 60 year span it will operate, that includes weapons, fuel, maintenance EVERYTHING.
-
Honestly, all the improvements make so much sense by themselves, but I can see how combining a dozen new technologies into a single object and durability testing them for 50+ years might have caused more delays and headaches than desired. Thanks for the investigative journalism!
-
Its actually crazy how many things they have talked about in this video just 6:14 in. I've personally welded 4 individual pieces of those elevators, same along with the steam pipes !
-
A proof that War is a Business
-
The problem associated with the cost of everything is the profiteering by defense contractors. This is what needs to be addressed, not the acquisition of the weaponry.
-
*وإنّي أثق يا الله أن وراء تلك الغيوم جمالٌ آتٍ."*❣️
-
What a great documentary thank you.
-
I bet the contractor that over engineered the toilet system is laughing all the way to the bank.
