F-16s. The Eurofighter has a delta wing, a pointier tail, and lacks the ventral fins. However to the best of my knowledge, Canada, the UK, and France do not operate them, and neither Canada nor France use the Eurofighter either, so I think it's just 'F-16 standing in for generic jet fighter' going on there.

You wish. You loving wish there would be a World War III. You'd loving come immediately. You'd put Rocky IV on every television in your home squeeze into the second-hand cammies you scrounged at a neighbor's garage sale and start marching point back and forth in your little lovely back yard, eyes glazed and mouth locked in a sick rictus. "I'd sign up now, if I could," you'd scream at passing children. "I'd give Gorbechev I mean Putin a bloody loving nose I would." Then you'd run inside and viciously cram your scrotum against a picture of Obama while screaming BORN IN THE USA over and over again.

There would be no need for you to die, because you'd already be in heaven.

It would be the perfect scenario for all the bitter old war hawks, so desperate for anything to make them feel powerful and relevant again. Until the slightest thing inconveniences them personally, they'll be utterly convinced that they're living out the 80's movie that they were certain the world should be.

I don't see why not, but like the last several weeks I saw were just a dozen variations of "I eat meat because reason," "actually, reason is invalid, you just enjoy animal suffering," "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK UNPLEASANT TRUTHS!?" so if that's still all she's producing, I imagine it'll get old quick.

Yep Canada has a single-type fleet of F/A-18 Hornets, which they might replace by a single-type fleet of F/A-18 Super Hornets. The UK is flying Eurofighters and Tornados, and will be getting F-35s. France operates Mirage 2000s for the Air Force, Super Etendards for the Navy, and Rafales for both. Amusingly, Turkey has one of the largest fleet of F-16 (third, after USAF and Israel), most of which they built themselves under license.

Of course the cartoonist just drew one F-16, then copy-pasted it repeatedly.

Flashback!
Back in the bygone era of the '90s I was a salesman at Radio Shack. They trained us in the fourteen steps of selling, the better to maximize our profits. Overcoming objections was one of those steps, and one of the techniques was called "Feel, Felt, Found." The customer tells you why they don't want to buy some crap they don't need, you turn it around on them by telling them that you yourself understand how they feel , because you felt that way yourself until you found out this amazing fact about how awesome the product really is!

The second panel leads me to think that Adam4d has been professionally trained to sell useless poo poo too.

Of course he has, he's an Evangelical Christian. Ever since the 19th century, Evangelicals have been applying marketing and sales techniques to their evangelism, developing "sales pitches" to get people to convert. And what they're selling is the imperative to go out and convert (i.e. sell to) more people. Fred Clark of Slacktivist calls their product "Amway without the soap."
