Business Insider: The US Navy will soon have an aircraft carrier full of F-35s on North Korea's doorstep

The US Navy's USS Wasp helicopter carrier will replace the USS Bonhomme Richard in the 7th Fleet's forward-deployed base at Sasebo, Japan, thereby giving the US an F-35 compatible aircraft carrier right at North Korea and China's doorstep.

The Wasp, one of the smaller-deck carriers the US Marine Corps' F-35B trained on and tested, will join with a squadron of Marine fighter pilots to put forth one of the most potent concentrations of naval power ever put to sea in the Pacific.

I'm skeptical too. The F-35 is an unworkable weapon system that should have been dropped long, long ago. Perhaps the Pentagon really does want to get our people killed and put them in an unwinnable conflict with weapons that don't work and can't work. No wonder morale is at rock bottom in the armed forces. After countless and fruitless operations around the world that not only do nothing to advance US security and economic interests but actually undermine them, going out of one's way to p!ss of the world's major powers, and now this deployment of an unworkable weapon system to a war zone!! It's as if the US government has gone stark raving mad!!
