The F-35 is not obsolete (that means old and defunct, which the F-35 is not) and is actually more cost effective in the long-run because the aircraft will be the standard in the U.S. air fleet (acting as a replacement for the F-16, F-15, A-10, etc) making training and maintenance more straightforward and in the long run, cheaper. You can cancel the F-35 program (which has been the source of a lot of revenue and research for U.S. institutions involved in its production and design) and be forced to deal with the rising maintenance costs of an aging fighter fleet or continue it and phase out the older fighters. Here is a comment, explaining further in detail the effectiveness of the F-35.

When recruiters try to sell being a Nuke on people applying to enlist their number one selling line is "you'll have a job lined up making six figures once you get out, guaranteed."

Have you found that to be true?
