Why, so nobody will know when you don't respond to NK shelling?
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

The South Korean government and military are considering developing stealth aircraft by 2015 as part of the country's fighter development program.
Citing an unnamed military source, Yonhap News Agency reported on Monday that North Korea's deadly shelling of Yeonpyeong Island last month has bolstered support among officials in Seoul for pursuing stealth aircraft technology.

Seema bit late to the show but good for them.
Its easier for them to purchase F-35s which is an option
Oh Dear. What’s going to happen when all their left-wing college students get wind of this.
Have the police beat them down.
thats a good idea too, why reinvent the wheel?
It is cheaper for South Korea buy 100 F-35 jets with all the bells and whistles that starting a homegrown operation. I am willing to bet that Lockheed will give them a excellent deal.

Obama will make a public show of assistance, then knuckle under and offer them obsolete F-16's, just like Taiwan. It hurts to say it, but don't count on the USA for aid or equipment, you're better off doing it yourselves.

I favor a Sarah Palin as Ronald Reagan posture, utilizing John Bolton and Lockheed Martin.
A woman shaming Chia Head, and a moustachioed man backed by fifth generation firepower will accomplish more than Wen Ho Lee's protector buying everybody tacos.
It is conceivable that America having an invertebrate pervert as POTUS causes her allies to go limp.
I agree that S Korea and Taiwan have need of F-35’s, but Obama won’t allow it. You may have noticed that he treats our allies with contempt and defers to our enemies. I would be surprised to see him aiding either one of these true democracies and going against his communist friends.
