I tease all the time that the writers at ARES believe in the "there is no such thing as good F-35 news" meme. Along with that thought, I also think that Bill Sweetman got together in a bunch of conversations and converted the rest of the staff over there...which makes him the Dark Lord of anti F-35 thought.
So since its Friday I thought it might be fun to label each of the anti F-35 Sith....
Sean's alter ego has to be Darth Bane. An otherwise likable guy...except that he's become a full follower of the dark side.
Amy's double would be Ventress. Not full Sith but its obvious that she's be touched by the dark side of the force. Lethal as any, fully capable and occasionally sides with the forces of the light ---when it suits her, she is yet a follower of the dark side.
Winslow Wheeler...just like Darth Maul, he's ferocious in his hatred, but will always be on the outside.
Robert is Darth Tyranus. Eloquent, refined yet as tainted by dark forces as any of the above.
And last but not least we have the Dark Lord himself....Bill "Darth Sidious" Sweetman...
Well, B.S. is certainly as *old* as Emperor Palpatine.
ReplyDeleteharsh man.
ReplyDeletethink about it though. somehow he's been able to get all the writers in Aviation Week to come over to his side of the fence.
so much so that no one in Aviation Week is trusted by those inside the program to report fairly on it.
that says something about his influence.
but stand by cause i'm gonna piss you off. i'm crediting and posting info from APA on the Chinese Amphibious Assault Vehicle. they're the only ones with info on it...and a couple other items of interest.
to be quite honest i'm gonna write Peter and ask for a semi-partnership on Chinese military developments...if it works i'll ask him to post articles here....i doubt if he'll do it but i'm gonna ask.
so consider yourself warned.
oh and no.
i haven't gone to the dark side of the force.
just trying to get info on our next REAL enemy.
APA does have some decent info. It just seems Kopp loses his mind when it comes to the F-22/F-35. I use to enjoy his posts way back in the day on USENET, rec.aviation.military.
