Forget the words contained in this response. Look at the commercialism.
Five star General and two term US President, Dwight D. Eisenhower rolled over in his grave as the public statement by Lt. General Chris Bogan surrounded by Lockheed-Martin advertising represents the epitome of the Military-Industrial Complex that is apparently acceptable by the DoD in the US today. The Lockheed-Martin uniform Bogdan is wearing looks eerily similar to that of the USAF for which we support with our tax dollars. Is Bogdan working for L-M already?
Lockheed-Martin announced early this week they are selling their IT business to "concentrate" more on their military business. Too bad they didn't do this before participating in the JSF program, maybe the resulting F-35A, B & C would have come far closer to meeting overall expectations including program costs which American tax payers provide funding for.
