Re: So is this somehow worse than selling a complete weaponry system that doesn't work?
In what way does the F35 not work ?
For the congressman - it transfers money from peasants to hard working voters in my congressional district.
For the treasury it transfers money from any ally dumb enough to buy it to the treasury
It provides a steady commission for arms salesmen and supports many others in the hookers and blow industries.
It makes red necks at hand-egg games scream Amerciaaaaaaa when they fly over and so forget they are watching a crap sport
It makes ex-fighter pilots in congress go all "teen girl at Justin Beiber concert" wen they see it and so approve funding even if it isn't built in their district
For no-good peacenik commie do-gooders, they can be assured it is extremely unlikely that this expensive delicate gadget would be used anywhere that would put it in danger. And even if it was is unlikely to be able to take off and do any damage.
