USAF to start training on the F-35 before the end of the year.

The 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., will take delivery of 20 F-35A-model conventional take-off variant aircraft with Block 1 training software after a brief informal operational evaluation so that instructor pilots can begin their training, said Vice Adm. Dave Venlet, the new JSF program executive officer."We're going to put them in the hands of the fleet and the Air Force is going to be operating [Conventional take-off and landing aircraft] in training at Eglin before the year ends," Venlet told a luncheon hosted by the National Aeronautic Association.
Why is the discussion of the F-35 so contentious.
Click here and the link will take you to an article written by Sweetman about the F-35.
From the start the conversation was contentious, with a commenter named JackJack being double and triple teamed...all because he supports the program.
What surprised me even more was the fact that even Sweetman (whos come out in the past against outing commenter s because it could deny a link to the inside story on these program) goes so far as to insist that JackJack come out and identify himself by name.
All of the above is neither here nor there...the question is this...Why do conversations about the F-35 become so contentious.
