I can't tell if it's incompetence, corruption, or both.

I've been railing against the F-35 on interweb forums for a few years now when the opportunity presents itself.

Does anyone here think F-35C will go to sea operationally? I think if so, it will be in very small numbers. I say buy more Super (Slow) Hornets to get us by (the F-18Cs and below are TIRED) as a stop gap until UCAV-N can take over.

PD
