So, you spend a shitload of money on a plane that may or may be not the bee's knees.

And then you spend another half-shitload of money on something that

1. could probably be done cheaper and more efficiently by a couple dozen of seasoned NCOs with phones, faxmachines and microfiches

2. may or may not have an "remote off-switch" feature

3. when hacked (no, not "if") will tell your adversaries precisely what missions are planned when and where, state of readiness, full system capabilities, performance, what have you

That it?
