Long post from the Information Dissemination Blog. Interesting summary of the player's positions from an Army logistician.

Best to read it at the source: http://www.informationdissemination.net ... ination%29

This chap oughtta stick to 'ARMY logistics' than write this junk: "...All this, while the F-35B itself isn’t particularly good at what a Marine Corps aircraft fundamentally exists to do…provide close air support to Marines on the ground. The F-35B has a tiny payload capacity, both in terms of weapons in the bay or on the wings, and the magazine capacity for the gun. Deck plates on ships and tarmacs on land bases had to be modified to keep the engine from melting them or starting them on fire from the engine exhaust...." This article may have been relevant a decade ago but not today. Look at recent USMC 'starting training post': http://www.f-16.net/f-16_forum_viewtopic-t-20264.html
