    A critical step in modernizing our armed forces is staying up to date with the emerging use of drones and UAVs.

    As long as they’re used to defend our airspace and not indiscriminately murder kids in the middle east I’m ok with this.

    We need a modern airforce, due to the increasingly hostile geopolitical arena. I just don’t want my taxes to contribute to the oppression of others.

      I hope they’re using them to patrol the northern border

        There’s only 11 of them. That’s a mere 24000 km of coastline each.

    $227 million each? Let me guess, they’re made by Irving.
