Why do they still want the JSF? Why do they still fight for it in congress? Are the poor things that do this for a living, just not as smart as the internet aviation writers, without access to classified info?
discuss
I believe you're missing the point...there's nothing to discuss about from the quoted paragraph, except convincing one another of the strength of their respective faiths.
However, I don't think the objective of this forum is sacral but mundane, dealing with facts and experience.
Therefore, having neither may understandably pose a problem in superimposing one's opinion, but that's how it works.
For example, how would people here know why partner nations "fight" to keep the JSF and how are people supposed to discuss that in the first place, without going into speculation way more than required to keep the discussion within reason?
This kind of question is equal in silliness to the one asking someone to make an assessment on JSF's total combat capability.
Still, people here can (and do) discuss specific items and details based on experience and knowledge, but that's all there is...a point sadly missed by JSFfan, for example.
Hope this helps.
