Mind control? Autopilot? Xbox controller?

Reminds me of this video I saw the other day....

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

A fly-by-wire control column instead of a steering wheel? This is the work of the Fighter Mafia. Specifically, F-16 pilots.

So, the Fighter Mafia thinks this and the F-35 are good uses of taxpayer money, and they think it's a good idea to scrap the A-10, one of the few USAF planes that currently has a job.

I disagree on all counts.
