Bad move.....Money wasted on the F-35 could have been put to better use avoiding cuts...

Agreed.

The Armed Forces should just be called the permanent FRP.

Recent government estimates project a major cut in defence spending to $18 billion next year from $20.7 billion.

That's a 13 per cent cut, yet the budget does not address where this money will come from.

Defence Minister Peter MacKay said in an interview that the savings will come from winding down the mission in Afghanistan, less contracting and slowing down procurement.

"Slowing down procurement", I can't believe that he f*^&ing said that out loud!  It's so ridiculous that it's actually funny!
