In the news this morning is about the two top jet fight the US had can't not communicate with each other. The great America military industrial complex at work. Spend another billon dollars to fix it.

I'd guess someone was sloppy writing the specifications.

Oh, now I understand... "two top jet fight" and "two top jet fighters" threw me off guard a little, sorry about that.

It is a difficult read due to grammar and structure of the op. Wish people would proofread before posting.

If you say they can't not communicate, you are saying they can communicate.

Yep, and we went back to space and a guy on the end of a tether fixed it, and it's been the most celebrated telescope of it's kind ever. Tell me who else but the U.S. could do that.

When you have jets that can't talk to each other and each cost around $30,000,000 each. Houston, we get a problem.

Well a thinking man would stop and think a minute. These jets are 30 years apart in technology so you can expect to have some issues. In a time when everyone wants to cut military spending upgrades have been put off time and again. But then you always have some jackass America basher that wants to flap his big mouth like he is saying something important.

correction: Wish I knew what you are (you're) talking about. It also looks like you are (you're) having a hard time communicating.

'Your" is a possessive as in: Your grammar is atrocious.
