You Can't Handle The Truth !!!!

Yep.  F-35 critics can't handle the truth....



via AOL.  Read the whole thing but here are the good bits....

The program executive officer for the problem-plagued F-35 said Thursday he has "great confidence" the multi-service fighter can deliver the oft-promised stealth and the sophisticated package of sensors.

Vice Adm. David Venlet said he has "measured data" to show that.

and this...

 "If we stick with the fundamentals, stay with reality, I'm very positive about this program," Venlet said.

Below we'll paraphrase the above scene.  The person speaking is in bold lettering:

Admiral Venlet:  We live in world that has J-20's and PAK-FA's who gonna defeat them? 

You BAE?

You Boeing?

You weep for the Rafale and you curse the Marine's STOVL figher.

The F-35B's existence while grotesque and incomprehensible to you saves lives.

Deep down inside places you don't talk about at parties, you know you want the F-35 at 40,000 feet, you need the F-35 at 40,000 feet.

The Lockheed Martin team and the USMC would rather you say thank you and you went on your way.

Either way we don't care what the critics think they're entitled to.

Sweetman:  Did you order the F-35B?

Lockheed Martin:  You don't have to answer that Admiral!

Sweetman:  I think I'm entitled to an answer!

Lockheed Martin:  We'll wait for the answer!


Sweetman:  Did you order the F-35B's?

Admiral Venlet:  YOU DAMN RIGHT WE DID!

JUST JOKING BILL!  LIGHTEN UP DUDE!
