Part of a really funny comment about F35 debates
http://www.thinkdefence.co.uk/2011/04/8494/
Do read especially "The Future" and "Conclusions"
Quite long to quote the Future, but quoted Conclusions
Conclusions
The Joint Strike Fighter program has – unfortunately like so many other projects – suffered from being poorly planned, poorly conceived, poorly budgeted, and from a not inconsiderable amount of lies, damned lies, and poorly researched statistics.
If you honestly believe this program will not go ahead now then there is probably something wrong with you.
But chin up my friends. The F-35 is not as bad as the haters make out. It may not be the silver bullet that its mouth-foaming supporters would have you believe, but it’s not a bad bit of kit overall.
And look on the bright side, as the colonialist’s might say “it’s going to make a kick-ass Airfix model!”
