The Heritage Foundation gets "medieval" on F-35 critics!

Check out this part....

Unfortunately, forces that never wanted the nation’s pilots to have this aircraft in the first place are now trying to pull a bait and switch. They are saying that there is too much concurrency, and they want to slow down production of the JSF. This would drive up the cost per unit of each JSF and probably force some of our allies to cut the number of planes they have ordered. These cuts would further drive up cost, creating a vicious cycle of cost increases.
The clear goal here is to slow down production and drive up costs in a spiral that will eventually allow opponents of military modernization and proper readiness to call for killing the program altogether. Congress should not allow this to happen.

Let's see...how can I put this?

Heritage said it PROFESSIONALLY.

Heritage said it in a POLITICALLY CORRECT way.

But they didn't say it plainly.

The critics want this program killed for various reasons.  From Sweetman wanting to save the European fighter industry, to APA dreaming of the F-22 being offered for export, to Cox wanting to simply stick it in the eye of Lockheed Martin (I don't understand this guy most of all) to the other cheerleaders in their camps that just want pats on the back because they're taking what was once the "popular" position.


But the problem is different now.  Slowing production will increase costs, not decrease them and the BIG issue with that is this.  THE PROGRAM OFFICE IS FALLING FOR THE STUPIDITY!  Time to get this plane in production and get on with the business of defending our country.
