The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee believes no more money should be spent on F-35 fighter jets.

“We have wasted a spectacular amount of money on weapon systems that either haven’t worked at all, or who have not lived up to their promise. Our acquisition and procurement process over the last 20 years can only be described as a complete disaster, from what’s going on with the F-35 to the LCS to the expeditionary fighting vehicle to future combat systems,” Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) said on March 5.
