So, I just did a bit of math, and found this out.
It costs around $40,000 on average to send a kid through 4 years of college. That's a good chunk of change, and basically unachievable if you're from a poor family. Even if you're decently well off, you'll be paying student loan debt off for years. Really, the only people who can get through college unscathed are rich kids.
An F-35 fighter jet costs $125,000,000 per unit. The government plans to buy 1,700 of them.
For the cost of a single F-35 fighter you could give more than 3,000 kids a full ride through college. If you were to keep the A-10s in the inventory and shave 300 F-35s off the final order, that money could put more than 860,000 kids through college.
I'm not talking about cancelling the whole order of 1,700 new figher jets, I'm talking about trimming that number down in favor of a more cost-effective and proven CAS airframe and sending a small city's worth of kids to school.
If you requisitioned the funds of 300 fighter jet purchases for use in education you'd be helping hundreds of thousands of people shatter a glass ceiling that's been holding back a huge segment of the population, and that's just in per-unit cost. That's not even getting into the annual operating and maintenance costs of the things. Doing this could go a long way towards straightening out the whole income gap thing, but nah, we need a preponderance of cool fighter jets.
Well, at least we have our priorities straight.
Also, goddamn, this is pretty OWS-tier.

There's a reason Eisenhower warned everyone.
PROTIP: Fighter jets are a better investment than poor people.
OP here, I just realized how hard that is to read. I apologize for the formatting.

Irony on ice.
are most soldiers edgy
>>23353711
I don't think they're edgy. I just think a lot of them are dumb shit rednecks.
Not because joining the military makes you a dumb shit redneck... but rather because they recruit a lot of dumb shit rednecks.
And try as they might, it's hard to train the dumb shit redneck out of every single one.
As they say, you can take the kid out of the trailer park, but you can't take the dumb shit redneck out of trailer park... but the hundreds of thousands of dollars in training and indoctrination is only effective at taking the trailer park out of the dumb shit redneck about half the time.
>>23353711
>edgy
>home boy is actually posing with a corpse
At some point you cross the line between teenage Hot Topic rewards member to psychotic asshole, and this is it. Also, despite how it may seem, the military goes to great lengths to rid themselves of "edgy" kids who want to kill people. Why?
Because it's a fucking nightmare having them in service and a Pvt. Pyle situation just waiting to happen. Tell people in the military you want to kill somebody and you will find yourself VERY quickly being reprimanded and out processed. Especially in combat arms where you could do something stupid and make a huge embarrassment out of yourself for the whole military.
A lot of soldiers are in the military because it's the only job they can get. You'll see a lot of disgraceful redneck/ghetto trash. Many serve because they have the sense to do that instead of running with a gang.
The warhammer wiki claims the bolter has tremendous recoil that would rip a normal human's arm out of his socket. But that doesn't make sense. It's a gyrojet weapon that uses a small bit of conventional powder to push the bolt out of the barrel before the rockets kick in. There's no way that small ammount of conventional powder would make it literally kick like a mule.
Plenty of ordinary humans use Bolters in the WH40k universe, the problem is fan wank and authors contradicting each other.
Bolters use a two-stage propellant that basically shoots it out with a normal powder load before some rockets activate to speed it up faster.
also, what >>23346562 said
>>23346562
i thought they had a smaller bolter for normal humans?

In honor Kevin Vickers efficient kebab removel. I vote /k/ sends him a congratulatory gift basket with a nice message attached.
Pick a basket (<$100) come up with a message (that's not gonna get us put on a watch list). Once we've agreed on what we're gonna send and say I'll take care of the rest and post proof.

Of course. Thermals everywhere. Helps find IR residue from recent positions. Also, light stabilization when going in and out of huts.
You know how pirates wore a patch and switched it from eye to eye when going below / on to deck? Same concept.
