'Scuse my ignorance (civ but not mil flyer; mil but not civ shooter) and also 'scuse the shiraz I've been knocking back tonight.....

Is the 'J' in this whole thing worth it? Is this 'J' as idiotic as McNamara's grand plans 45+ years ago?

Why faff around creating a 80% solution for every situation in (basically) one airframe, engine & avionics system, when more specific 95% solutions in (basically) three different systems for three (or more) situations might each have had a chance of coming in (roughly) on time and (roughly within 50%) of budget?

Has it been worth all this $$$$$ to create one system to try and do almost everything?

Back to the vino .....
