Google says that thing cost somewhere between $82MM - $109MM. I wonder how many meals it could have been instead.

My country benefits from military surplus aides from the U. S. I wouldn't mind if America takes care of it's children first.

The R&D on that jet would have solved world hunger and provided free healthcare for the whole US. Instead, we kill our pilots with them. Excellent use of funds.
