I'd say that I'm disappointed but that's not strong enough.
I guess the best description is...Par for the course.
Read it here but check out this turn of phrase.
The two program leaders broke left and right and demonstrated evasive maneuvers that would have done credit to an Su-35 formation tackling a salvo of AMRAAMs. The report was speculative with no access to program information. The partners have been fully involved in defining requirements. The F-35 will meet all its requirements. And so on and so forth. Following it was enough to cause a G-LOC episode.Sweetman is spoiling for a fight on the JSF. He walked into that briefing room ready to confront the program officials, not gather information.
Who was it that asked the question I wonder? Was it one of Sweetman's sycophants? Probably.
He wants a fight so badly that he's seeing boogey men where none exist.
Damn bro. You're better than this.
"Damn bro. You're better than this."
ReplyDeleteNo he isn't. He might have been years ago but he's not even trying to pretend objectivity anymore. He's showing his true colors. I'm just surprised he still has a job with AvWeek. I'd hoped they were better than that but apparently the almighty dollar is more important than journalistic integrity.
Lately, they have been giving the task of JSF reporting to other reporters (including Amy Butler)so you never know.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, Amy Butler just posted on the same story shortly after Sweetman.
Sweetman wrote a book about the F-35 back in the 90's, if I remember correctly it was pretty good. Too bad that he has become so biased, he was good author.
