Foxtrot Alpha finally admits the F-35 is a total mess...

via Foxtrot Alpha.

Sadly, it is doubtful the Pentagon can do much to reverse this cycle of F-35 misery because, as our own Michael Ballaban wrote, this program needed to be cancelled 20 years ago if that decision was to be made. Canceling it now would cost hundreds of billions of dollars start a new program from scratch.

So, yeah, the Pentagon admits the platform is crappy. But that’s been obvious for quite a long time.

Story here. 

I follow this guy with interest.  He's a down the line, journalist...he touts the popular line because that's how he gets his stories.

When a mainstream journalist goes off the reservation then you know the program is bad.

Foxtrot Alpha just went off the F-35 reservation.

I almost feel sorry for them.  The rabid F-35 fanboy club will go crazy defending this crappy little fighter and this guy will be called everything but a child of God.

Pass the popcorn.  The flame war on that page should be a sight to behold.
