and guess what XGDUDE.Sweetman and his merry band of followers have definitely gone too far. No one is yanking him back and this vendetta against the F-35 is becoming twisted.
Congress forced a single program down the throats of the military. there was a competition and Lockheed Martin won. i don't remember nary a complaint about LM when they did. i hear nary a complaint about the F-22 even though its shorter ranged than the F-35, is a maintenance nightmare and its vaunted supercruise has yet to be validated in even a combat exercise.
but as usual this board has been and continues to be overrun with apostles of Bill in their negativity toward a program that is flowing tech advancements back to legacy programs and even the F-22 at a rate that would have had NASA engineers blushing during the heyday of the Apollo space program.
i marvel at the audacity, cringe at the stupidity and wonder at the motives of some of you here.
have fun boys. it ain't worth visiting or reading tripe like this anymore. oh and to the author of this piece. i've read the whole report and the summary.
seems you left out more than a few positives that were contained in it.
was that by accident or on purpose.
fair and balanced?
i don't freaking think so.
A noted journalist spinning facts to fit a narrative?
It ain't suppose to work that way.
But it is and no one is calling him on it.
This is a copy of the actual GAO report so that you can read it for yourself. Suffice it to say that Sweetman left out quite a bit of positive information in his reporting.
I'm to the point where I don't expect anything less.
Thanks for sending this Craig...you're a hero (and forgive my rant)..
