This is an incredibly damning report of the F-35. Is this going to turn into the world's biggest military procurement blunder in history?

Also, is the F-22 still unable to fly in rain?

No but I've been trying to remain at least a little bit optimistic about its potential. This is just the final nail in the coffin I guess. It
saddens me that many in the USAF are hell bent on getting rid of the A-10 in order to push this weapons platform.

The F-35 was doomed to be a turd blossom from the start.

Doomed for everyone but Lockheed Martin. They've made $$$$$ on this colossal fuck up.

It is a perfect example of trying to make a wrench do the job of a screwdriver. The Navy does not need the same fighters as the Marine Corps or the Air Force, this thing has been a boondoggle from the beginning.
