Man in white ovies,
I don't think you'll have to fear a lot of incoming for your comments because they actually make sense and pretty much sum up what all this has lead to.
The US and UK are pretty much forced to go with the JSF not because of its merits but mostly because of ulterior motives like the faith of Marine corps and fleet air arm fighter jet long term faith, combined with the faith of LM and in a lesser degree Bae.
Doesn't mean we have to follow suit into the abyss, for many of the other nations there are alternatives who make a hell of a lot more sense.
