Spaz - Actually, a little FUD in this program would have been no bad thing. Might have kept us out of the current situation, with well over $50 billion down the tubes, 17 years of not working on alternatives or follow-ons, still five or six years (at least) away from the bare-minimum capability that the contractor promised, while nobody knows how far they are going to have to cut force numbers to compensate for operating costs.
A little FUD might have kept people from betting the farm on promises and projections and the magic of simulations and laboratories. Instead, what got us here was HAG - Hubris, Arrogance & Greed.
