Aaaaah! You're not claiming the caterwauling did not happen, but instead you're asking for "proof" the caterwauling was not misplaced. Your gut hatred for the F-35 has kept you in the dark over the past few years. Below are a few articles that rebut your caterwauling. There are LOTS more. Google is your friend.

And oh yeah, about your oft repated claim that the F-35 is not multi-role? Read the last two sentences in that last article (the one by the Norwegian pilot in The Aviationist.) He totally trashes your absurd claim. And that was written over two years ago. The F-35 has improved since as has the experience of its pilots in actual operations.
